当你用自己的DNA编织的时候，必须有些灵活性，因为你知道材料并不总是完美的。不同的头发有不同的拉伸性和弹性。事实上，我经常发现自己拿着一缕头发，有些是灰色的比较硬而结实，而另一些则比较细而柔软还有些弹力。从某种程度上来说，使用这些材料进行制作的过程，让你不得不对自己更温和更有耐心，这是极佳的个人锻炼经历。 下面一段小视频谈了头发锁和锁链，也谈了一些对这件作品参加的展览的思考。非常感谢David Muskett和他的微距镜头，还有他的快速剪辑魔法。 Alternative video link Video speech: 我叫Niamh Cunningham，我是参与“侵犯私密”项目的艺术家。 从上世纪中叶以来，战争不再只是战场上正规军之间的交火，许多平民也被卷入其中。妇女和儿童是最脆弱的群体，她们很容易成为攻击的目标，侵犯她们会导致家庭解体，造成毁灭性的打击，甚至带来持续几代的耻辱回忆。 这件作品是以我自己的头发为原材料。头发通常被认为是女性的象征。我测试发质，选择哪些头发可供使用，我觉得物理特质也反映了心理特质。比如一根头发可能非常细但仍富有弹力。这种灵活性让我联想起人类精神中的韧性和耐力。恢复，愈合，再一次发挥作用。不过，一旦头发被过分拉伸超过了极限，就会卷曲或者断裂。 其他白色的头发更粗更易拉伸，能像金属线一样保持形状。这些头发很结实，不容易断裂，但是和较细的有颜色的头发相比，它们缺少柔韧性。 当不同的头发编织到一起的时候，即使承受相当的压力，它们也不会断裂。 我正在做的这个项目表现的是锁和锁链。 我继续收集……

When knitting with your own DNA you have to allow yourself to be flexible because you know the material isn’t always perfect. Different hairs have different tensile and elastic qualities. In fact, I often find myself working with a single strand that is partially grey and hard...

Students at Tsinghua University Sculpture workshop. Having sat for four sessions this week for clay sculpture class of Prof Pan Yiqun at Tsinghua, it was a good exercise for me to learn to sit still for a change. My friend Pan Yiqun has been a long time participating artist...
