About the Artwork

A classic businessman’s briefcase recreated entirely in welded steel chain, with a single row of chain along the seam standing in for the zipper, a deadpan joke that reveals itself only up close. “A serious man grabs a bag like this and goes to work. Once he returns, he leaves the bag on a higher shelf, honoring its important contents. You may prefer a backpack, but does it hold as mysterious a narrative?” Galvanized steel with clear powder coat.
