This work features a canvas constructed from a massive number of receipts gathered throughout the country. This live painting event will feature VIKI’s distinct method of mark-making known as “Receipt Art,” where the artist applies heat using clothing irons and soldering irons in order to paint with the theme of “recycling memories.” The artist interweaves time and people with these receipts which would normally be discarded, creating a new memory in the form of an artwork. Watching the process of the work as it comes into fruition will arouse questions of what receipts mean to us within consumer society.
