In art school, I kept all my receipts for art supplies for several years in folders and boxes, thinking I would do something with them one day. Turn them into an art piece, attach them into a long paper trail documenting my consumption. Something. I love Kate Bingaman-Burt‘s solution: “I draw something that I purchase everyday. I also draw my credit card statements.” You can see her drawings at her Flickr collection or at her blog, Obsessive Consumption.
