As a child it was understood that you would never look in your mothers purse. I remember my mother asking me to fetch her purse on a number of occasions; each time I would deliver it unopened. Somehow a purse was a deeply personal, as well as utilitarian, accessory. Only the owner of the purse could unleash its power. These photographs are my homage to the purse.
