The red purse travelled with Natasha Caruana on each of the 80 dates she arranged for her series ‘Married Man’. In it, she hid a sound recorder to capture her conversations. The image also references the celebrated middle English poet Chaucer’s suggestion of the woman’s vagina as a ‘purse’. It can be seen as a monument to the stories told by the married men and to the variety of exchanges made in the process of the different stages of courtship.
