Claire Kearns - Performance - 2006 (part one)

Thanks, that's so nice of you! The filming of the event was secondary to it really, more for documentation & marking as it formed part of my 3rd year work. I edited it down to the sound of the cutting to progress into a sound installation-which was my final piece. Now I work predominantly with installation & sound. This piece was my only public performance, though I have just started a virtual performance blog with a friend-but that's more fun than poignant. Thanks again for the lovely comment!

Beautiful Performance Art. The method of self-depreciation demonstrates a curiosity from the viewer and morbidity in the piece. I havent seen anything like this before, but it is really a stunning piece of work to watch. From the silence of the room, there is something almost soothing/relaxing about watching someone's hair being cut and sheared off. This really is amazing & I love your work. More art like this should be mainstream in Art Galleries in cities around the world. Thanks for the art:)
