unexpected art that can be descirbed and hopefully understood

in a devastatingly wonderful letter, that i will most likely post parts of later, i happened to recieve an unexpected gift,

this gift was what i will call an art piece
this gift was 10 crumpled up scrawled on pieces of paper
this gift was this person's (or this person's family's) grocery lists

and this lead me to the following colclusions:
-we (as humans) eat to survive
-this is what my family and i eat to survive
-we consume/buy to survive
-we organize ourselves to survive
- we need to remeber to survive
-we fold up and throw away our old tools of survival, our things to rememeber and means of getting by, and we forget that someone else may appreciate them.
-sometimes there is not point in in survial, it is just done


SO I WANT TO HEAR ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS
why do you think this person sent me lists or things they have bought/ planned to buy/consume
or is there even a meaning
i stress the idea of respectfully and eloquently expressing an argument or statement
lets get some feed back


as always

much love

patrick gill

ps:
i dont particularlly think that the contributor of this necessarily intended for these lists to be thought of in this way, but what else is going to happen when you send things without explanation to a man who wants things explained

i think that deep down they like it
