As part of this brief, investigating handbags and their links with identity, I decided to briefly explore the textural qualities of some of the handbags themselves. Considering also the similarities between the textures of the handbag and the textures of skin.
Although I have decided not to pursue this area of experimentation further, it did allow me insight into the full identity of the handbag – and was able to look at the interesting textural connection between the handbag and the owner. However, I find the work done on the emotional and symbolic nature of the handbag more interesting than the exploration of its physical and textural qualities.
