Hair Burqa

From Hair Work

Part of Cautionary Tales for Young Girls

The performance work was created for Modern Art Oxford to be shown while the exhibition Veil was on show in 2004. During the performance the artist wore a Burqa woven from blond wig hair.

The performance, whilst making reference to the fact that a Burqa is designed to conceal the hair, also alluded to legends like The Lady of Shallot.
