Measured Transition 2016 - 2021 was a performance which followed durational performance Measured Transition. This was a durational performance in which I grew my hair from first going to the GP to ask for trans healthcare, until I got top surgery.
I cut off my hair using a surgical scalpel whilst a 4 channel audio work containing the questions asked within the Gender Identity Clinic assessments was played into the space.
Objects from this performance are now part of Top.
