This piece was made for a gallery at the Slade that had no windows; I found the clinical nature of the space very claustrophobic. I wanted to make a piece for the balcony, which when you go out on, you get a real sense of freedom from the panoramic view of London. That is why I decided to make an escape route. Using the fairytale myth of rapunsel, I plaited a 20 metre long rope of hair, complete with chinstrap and silk lining.
