Bingaman-Burt’s long-running daily drawing project approaches consumer culture through steady, intimate documentation. For over twenty years, she has drawn the items she purchases each day in quick, unedited sketches. What began as a gesture of personal accountability has grown into an expansive archive of daily life. Through repetition, small transactions and daily necessities become markers of time and routine. Accumulated over years, the drawings form a quiet but insistent record of being alive in the world. The exhibition will highlight selections from this ongoing project alongside sketchbooks, zines, and a new risograph-printed book that reflects on two decades of daily drawings. 

Saloka’s practice begins with the collection of rocks and rubble, detritus she gathers from the street, construction sites, and other places. Each piece of rubble she selects is both material and metaphor, a fragment separated from a greater whole. In the 1980s, she was one of thousands of South Korean children adopted by Minnesota families. Growing up in a mostly white environment, she often found connection to family and friends through pop culture. As an adult, she is inspired creatively by the American brands and products she grew up with, using them as subjects of her paintings. The surface imagery Saloka paints onto each form, like the culture of her adopted country, is full of bright colors and bold words, artfully composed branding draped over bumpy, imperfect canvases.
