'do you want me to help you remember that?’

Scar is one of a series of performance works where the artist uses water and/or her hair to perform an act in a richly redolent location that leaves no trace. 

Evoking half-remembered dreams and suppressed memories of an accident which left trauma and scarring. This performance was for the eye of the camera.
