Drawing as an action had long felt beyond my own range of entitlement for its defiance of language alone. I made Pluck because I wanted to draw with a material to which I was uniquely entitled. I also needed the material to have little or no value for anyone else. I decided to use my own hair. Plucking was an action through which I could address shame, hope and the translation of time into pain.

For the work I plucked and attached my hair to cartridge paper and generated a series of drawings, 4 of which made it into this footage. As a material for composition, plucked hair could be attached to the paper only once with no adhesive. In this way the material resisted editing and each composition was a one-off, entirely dependent on intuition, impulse and material directly sourced from my own body.
