Wow so many people leaving shopping lists around! Probably in grocery carts? Your found shopping lists make a “found poem”!

I haven't seen a mention of cod liver oil anywhere since...I can't remember when.

" Pilgrim's Progress ? " It seems as though it's shrinking in 1 frame, then growing, then keeping to middle ground.

Loved this! Have you read A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller? This reminded me of that.

I assume you found those lists in your own archives. Thanks for letting us peek into the world of your eating habits. My favorite is “hard boiled egg, salt, pepper”.

The Milky Bars are on Steve! If they're 4 Steve, what is 4 drinks? Why does a shopping list get headed up "shopping list"? Do we need to be reminded it's a reminder?

I howled with laughter at some of these. Clearly, Sainsbury's is an emporium to wonder at. Did they ever get their mini sausages? What papers were purchased - had someone run out of "cigs" - written furtively to avoid saying the word out in full? And if it is in full, we then get abbreviated "rasberrys"? I wonder what a paracetamol sundae tastes like. And a monster -m-u-c-h- munch ...

Finally, is Sainsbury's Gold a judgment of what you need to shop there, something you buy there, or an assessment of the role they play in your life.

Very experimental, and cleanly done. Every photo portrays the subject the same, which gives the disharmonious notes a sense of cohesion. Nicely done.

One my dad read as a young man and always stuck with him, enough to recommend it to me! Science fiction and dystopia, I loved it!
