PROTEST RECEIPTS
The photographs in this piece document the signage and t-shirts worn at several protest marches on the Nation's Capital over the period of 2005-2007. Printed on my collect receipts from 2007, the series represents several stories: the current events of this time period, the individual expressions of outrage of those who marched, a diary of my habits as a consumer, the poetics of the market’s product-language, and the transformation of turning garbage into art. Together the question arises: What if the voices speaking out for peace were as closely listened to as our voices as consumers?
