This is the first image of a series I'm creating about handbags. Some years ago I was helping my Aunt Barbara clear some cupboards in her house. While we were doing this, she told me she'd kept every handbag she'd ever owned — five decades of handbags — a life in handbags. The images aren't so much biographical as about the idea of the handbags themselves. I plan to put together an exhibition of these, along with some of my aunt's bags. Depending on how she feels, I'd like to have some photos of her in the exhibition, and perhaps a recording of her talking about her life. More details to follow as this project develops.
