Embroidered Bags - 18th and 19th Century.

The 18th century saw a rise in popularity for the drawstring bags, as dresses began to have a more slender silhouette. Both men and women favoured them and began using them every day to carry the things they needed. Additionally, they also saw a rise in popularity as a betrothal or marriage tool due to the amount of time the women put into customising and embroidering them.

These bags were typically attached to the women’s waist via a long drawstring and a decorated buckle. They usually carried coins, jewellery, or keys. The 19th century also saw women with multiple cinch bags in a variety of colours so they could colour coordinate their bags to their outfits.

Rebecca Horn, Cockatoo Mask, 1973 (stills from Cockfeather Mask Perfomance II)

Horn described using this mask in a performance exploring ideas of sexual availability and intimacy: ‘My face is covered by two intertwined, closed feather wings. The person standing before me touches the feathers delicately, then separates and opens the wings. The spread wings stretch like long bird wings, and softly enclose around [both] our heads. The feather-enclosure isolates our heads from the surrounding environment, and forces us to remain intimately alone, together.’ The use of the mask is deliberately ambiguous and the performance implies a tension between tenderness and aggression.
