Lauren - scissors, an implement to create

EXPERIENCE: RECEIVING A HAIR CUT

- Sound of the scissors clashing together

- Feeling of your hair being cut

- Visual; self image

- Emotion, trust

- Can either be positive where every cut is another step towards a vibrant new you OR every cut you kind of cringe

- Seeing your hair laying on the floor

- Running fingers through the new length of the hair

- Tactile profession which uses the hands and fingers to decipher hair type and style

ARTWORK: EMPIRE RECORDS

This story traces a single tumultuous day in the lives of several young slackers who work at a bustling store named Empire Records. Anything can happen and everything does--relationships are tested and dilemmas are solved.

Introducing Deb: Unhappy, misunderstood, slightly off-balance. Yet loyal and selfless, with a sense of humour (although slightly morbid).

She walks into the dark restroom and shaves her head spontaneously upon arriving at work one morning. Stands in front of the mirror, picks up a pair of scissors and proceeds to calmly hold up a giant chunk of hair and cuts it as it then falls to the floor in one feathery mass.

She is making a statement re: her Mental Anguish by stylizing her hair in a fashion guaranteed to make the general public stare and gaze in awe, in appreciation and possibly, gasp!

Its also a need to simplify her life, and make radical change to her self as a boost to her self-esteem, or possibly to blow off steam. After the use of the electric razor also and this seriously serious girl, then parades about the record store with her new buzz cut, daring everyone with her seriously serious eyes to make one scathing, one questioning, one antagonistic remark because this one, she will cut you.

OBJECT: SCISSORS

- Implement to create

- Can cause damage a work of art

- Cut: paper, cardboard, metal foil, plastic, food, cloth, rope wire, hair and nails.

- Shape

- Threaten, Injure or kill

- Not symmetrical therefore left handed will require left handed scissors

- Cutting out fabric, the feeling of their weight in my hand before the first cut.

- Hairdressing- a profession using mostly tactile and visual senses. Use of the hands to feel the length and make the right type of cut.

- An awesome sound scape in Edward Scissorhands- the sounds of an artist at work on a black screen eventually to reveal a crazy piece of work.
