VOTE 10/10 (White)
Each unique piece is made using a vintage handbag from the 1950’s or 60’s. I chose purses as my canvas as a way to marry the politically-charged messages of the Pro-Choice movement with representations of women’s modern economic power and the possibilities for change that come with it. For me, the use of purses from the mid-twentieth century also calls back to that critical era and reminds us how much has changed and, more importantly, how much has not.The text on each purse is created using Electroluminescent wire that is lit up using batteries. The purses are meant to be carried and serve as small-scale political billboards.
