An Index of Americanisms (2023)
2024A scroll of receipts on thermal paper, An Index of Americanisms (2023) is a 27 foot scroll broken down into sections that represent one week of the year. On the receipts are line items of news headlines drawn from national and local publications citing every mass shooting that took place in 2023 in the United States. The weeks are sporadically broken up by counterfeit coupons with adages commonly shared in response to such tragedies. I referenced the Gun Violence Archive during the process.
