Mara as Muse Bags
A project by Mario Vespasiani
April 30th, 2014
A muse who inspires an artistic process , which produces images , works and baggage to carry with you : the collection of handbags Mario Vespasiani is comparable to a collection of abstract paintings , the elements of which are unique and unrepeatable.
Each bag is made in Italy by artisan workmanship , using only eco-friendly materials ; each one is different, but in each of the prevailing importance of the geometry that is a constant throughout the design , so as to bring to the world's idea of sculpture and design that is not out of fashion.
The inspiration comes from imagining that some people who find different directions , carrying their luggage in a lifetime , and the signs of it as a testimony to all that are imprinted on the surface , scalfendola and making it more interesting.
Bags with its own destiny and their own history , lived or still to be discovered ; the artist tries to tell his collection , saying:
"I like to imagine that we end up crumbs and business cards, chewing gum and the iPad , a chocolate and a passport.
All in all I would like these bags speak to us as they do some paintings ; invisible , hanging or resting somewhere , yet sacred and inviolable . "
