A shopping receipt may seem like a strange thing
to put on an art gallery wall. How can this be art?
Rather than making a painting or sculpture,
there are many artists (like Ceal Floyer here)
who create art from everyday things.
She would like you to think
about the idea behind the art, rather than
what it looks like. Take a closer look at the receipt.
You will see that it is a list of objects bought
from the supermarket that are all white.
Imagine the objects and their whiteness
and think about why this might be in a display about colour.
Is white a colour?
