Spun, 2018

Performance with red thread, hair, nails, and wooden board

Boards covered in nails line the room, the nails connect hundreds of red threads to a needle in my hand. As I breathe the threads follow my movements. I cut my hair and weave it through my toes and begin to spin it into thread. I thread the needle with my hair and crank it through the red threads. My spun hair holds the threads together until I cut them.

Performed for Femme Wave 2018 as part of Our Bodies Are Restless at Central Memorial Library, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
