Kuri's tapestry depicts what would seem to be a completely forgettable receipt for purchases made during a visit to the Superama supermarket in the artist's native Mexico City—a list of acquisitions including tuna, vegetables, Cheetos, and chocolate. Transformed by the artist into a large, hand-woven tapestry, however, the everyday-ness signified by this typically ephemeral bit of paper becomes endowed with an absurd profundity.
