Hair Shirt Project

Hairshirts & Comfort Blankets


Is a hair shirt worn to remind ourselves of an event, emotion or transgression?

I believe an invisible hairshirt is often worn for a perceived fault,  A self imposed penance with religious connections to the Celice
For this project I intend to explore this notion translating the conceptual hairshirt, using code, to embed the information into fabrics
The comfort blanket is again self imposed, a comfort zone, at what points in our lives do we need this, and conversely choose to change it?
