Joanne Proctor, Steps and Stairs and Ladders to Climb, Slipping and Sliding with not much Time, Hand-Stitched Human Hair (Artist's Own) on Canvas, 40 x 100 cm, Dec 2010 (Detail)

A highly labour intensive process, intricately hand-stitched with strandÂ’s of my own hair. I collected the strands over a period of time, reusing and preserving fragments of myself/DNA which fell way naturally as I washed and brushed my hair. The use of my Hair within this work refers to growth, decay and renewal, whilst the Spine is a symbol of Balance and Strength.

The title of this piece refers to words within a poem I wrote, where Time, Change and Mortality are of significance.
