MARY-JO GILLIGAN

Three dozen helium baloons, string, honey, steel hedge clipper, hair. Duration 25min

This performance was sited on top of a mountain ridge in rural Ireland. During strong winds a figure dressed in a feather duvet dress wrestled her hair with a blunt hedge clipper until it finally released and was carried across the mountain tops. The piece is influenced by notions of the body, materiality and energy.
