Hangnail, 2014
to and fro
Artspace Aotearoa, Auckland
A collaborative series of performances with Julia Croucher.
In Beauty Binds, we took symbols of femininity and exaggurated them to the point of a grotesque performance of gender.
We created kitsch, pink hyper-femme fake nails, which we were joined by. We sat across a table from each other and shared a single pair of scissors to awkwardly cut ourselves apart.
Durational performance, PVC, nail polish, glue, paint, miscellaneous nail decorations, scissors.
