The Handbag Project
During a residency in Johannesburg I became fascinated by objects of luxury bought and treasured by those with positions of power and privilege during the period of apartheid. I was particularly attracted to handbags and gloves for their potency symbols of femininity.
For me what is interesting and intriguing about these objects is their association with a particular society and moment in history.
