Excerpt from Hair & Contemporary Fibre Art by Jessica Hemmings, (1-1-2003):

“Violence and loss are also evident in Beth Barron’s Holocaust Hankie series. Working with cloth handkerchiefs inherited from a victim of Auschwitz, Barron embroiders these with floss, hair, beads and objects, such as small bones and Band-Aids. The handkerchief, once a sign of cleanliness and thoughtful top-pocket dressing, is transformed through embellishment into a memorial. The presence of hair as embroidery thread necessitates its absence from the body and manages to evoke nothing pleasant or comforting. In Barron’s case, the title of the series confirms these feelings. By making the provenance of the handkerchiefs known to the viewer, the hair they incorporate symbolises the hair that fell from shaven heads of victims in the concentration camps, as well as hair shed under stress and starvation”
