Does anyone know any artists who focus on identity through objects. For my GCSE art coursework we are focusing on identity and I would like to show how you can identify people from the objects that they have in their pocket or bag. For example my dad would always have a pen knife if we were going camping. The only problem is, I have to study an artist who I took my inspiration from but I don't know any. Any help? Even if you don't thinks it's very good just say it because I'm really stuck! 
Well i some what know what you are talking about. MC Escher drew a lot of pictures and prints with a statue of a bird with a human head, spheres, fish and birds. He was a mathematician so i guess you can use that for the spheres. He also used a lot of math to make most of his works. I would look up some of his work so you can understand more of what im trying to say. I hope this works and good luck on it.
