Material World, ‘The Receipt Is In The Bag’ (Final piece). 2017, November 20th.
I decided to make a bag out of card and receipt because I had never made a bag before and I had a lot of receipts. The receipts were symbolic to consumerism, which was something we needed to include in our work.
I think the piece turned out well considering that it’s my first attempt at making a bag, it’s well structured and it can hold things. Visually- I think it looks nice.
I could’ve used better adhesive to stick the receipts down with and something more discrete for the strap. I also had to use Blu-Tac as a clasp to keep the top down.
In the future I might recreate this piece and try to use it in a normal day to see how well it holds up in everyday use. I wanted to rip the receipts up more and give it more of a Mosaic style however I didn’t have the time when I made the bag.
