Recycled bronze - stand size: 45x40x40cm - handbag size: 40x35x25 - total weight: 60kg // Sunday Handbag by William Sweetlove is a bronze sculpture that playfully subverts everyday objects with a touch of surrealism. This metallic piece features a detailed handbag resting atop a sturdy plinth, its surface gleaming with the refined finish of recycled bronze. Emerging from the bag are unconventional items, including a wine bottle, large leaves, and a tall cactus, transforming the handbag into a vessel of unexpected contents. Sweetlove’s work often addresses themes of consumerism and environmental awareness, and Sunday Handbag appears to suggest a narrative around modern lifestyles and material culture, perhaps critiquing or celebrating the eccentricities of human behavior. The contrasting elements of nature and consumer goods in this 60 kg sculpture create a sense of irony and contemplation.
