The Receipt Series explores translating ephemeral items of everyday into material form.  This work collages items in which purchases that have identifying numbers, dates and codes for tracking purposes, are contrasted with current affairs and stock market numbers from the newspaper.  In this form, the context or meaning is recorded in a labored form, one in which ink the won’t fade or the scrap of paper lost.
