Bye Bye Baby (Hair Action) |
Performance |
Bye Bye Baby (Hair Action) is a meditation on infertility and loss. I brushed my hair while recounting the story of the Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson. After I had collected enough hair, I braided it into strands. It had been falling out quite a bit at the time, so there were a number of strands. I lit a braided candle (a havdalah candle which is lit at the end of the sabbath in Judaism to mark the separation between the sabbath and the rest of the week). I then burned the strands of hair while singing Send in the Clowns by Judy Collins. Art Concept 3, 2006, Performance Festival, St Petersburg, Russia |
