Marmalade & Bum wipes

artist book 25 colour pages, paperback 19.8 x 15 cm

Marmalade & Bum wipes uses found shopping lists as its subject. These precious ephemeral pieces, without which we are lost in the store, are readily discarded once they have fulfilled their role. Often found abjectly screwed up in the corner of a trolley or dropped on the ground, they are given a renewed importance, re-presented for the perusal and use of a new audience. Each list in its new role provides the reader with both anthropological and archaelogical evidence of someone's life. Cathy represents these lists in book form, they now mirror the very items that they feature, becoming products to be purchased thereby completing a new lifecycle.
