A Mass of Red Hair Fell Down to Her Hips

A Mass of Red Hair Fell Down to Her Hips. Performance and installation for Borderlines: Cley 19 at St. Margaret’s Church, Cley next the Sea, 2019.

She appears in the churchyard wearing a garment and mask of red hair, she explores the area, touches it’s history, fills her heels with the land. The relics left in the church are what came afterwards, after the monster visited the village. The draped, flowing hair and small objects exist somewhere between fact and fiction, a memory and a fairy tale. This piece explores the creation of a personal mythology, particularly how inspiration for these tales comes from the inherent fear and desire entangled within the landscape.
