THIS IS YOUR INVOICE. DO NOT DESTROY.

Ephemera Mixed Media Collage - 22 1/2" x 30" - 2005
Using saved business receipts, checks, invoices and other ephemera papers.

For this imaginary sukkah roof, the flowers decorating it incorporated the saved ephemera from my father-in-law's "worthless treasures" as he liked to call them. His business, The Binghamton Bag and Burlap Co., serviced onion and potato farmers in the western part of Upstate New York. As examples, Dad saved his customer telephone and address books, canceled checks going back to 1927 and invoices which boldly stated in red that they should "not be destroyed".

These temporary papers, which most people would have thrown away, became a living testimony to a life and time that deserved its own recognition by our remembering.
