RICHARD RAWLINS: THE BAG PROJECT

click on pictures to enlarge









In the context of genetics, the utterance “good jeans” may mean one thing, but within the sphere of of our local vernacular riddled with its creative use of the “double-entendre” the concept takes on a whole different meaning. These images, while ripe with individuality and humour show us something else about ourselves. The Jeans act as more than just a fashion project experiment, they have become an arbiter of sameness and commonality. The Jeans, that great unifier…is one of our common denominators.
