This "excessory-baggage" piece by Meryl Smith is one of those items that made my heart flutter and wish I had made myself. This oh so lux animal crawled out of my head. Words can't express how badass I find this puppy vuitton purse. The next best thing to actually creating this would be owning it and appreciating it I guess.
Materials: metal screen, paper mache, leather, gold paint, zipper
I made "excessory baggage" for a group exhibition at The Honey Space, where 5 curators asked artists to create sculptures that fit the measurement requirements for international carry-on luggage.

What drives you crazy?
People who don't bother thinking. People who say, "I should have thought of that but I just didn't think." I see kids today with these wires in their ears listening to noise all day and I wonder, how can they think?

whoa...it scares me more than anything!that's taking the yuppy dogs and designer purse to another level! crazy stuff!
this is brilliant. what a statement.
That bag is rediculous. How creative. I love how there is so much social commentary in that purse....It's true about people just walking aorund with their ear buds in listening to lil' wayne or whatever. Living in the city, I find myself not wanting to be in touch with what's around me and going into my own world with my iPod...it's both good and bad. Sometimes it makes you not present...on that note, I am off to yoga:)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
i always have that "i wish i thought of that". it bums me out sometimes.
ps: thanks for your comments on my blog! best,

Did you see The Squid and the Whale? A high school kid tries to pass off a Pink Floyd song as his own, and when he gets caught his explanation is, "I felt I could have written it."
