I don't usually get to spend so much time with BabyG, alone. It's been very lovely, and I have all these things to brag on her about, but I'll save that for a time I'm less lulled by the weather. I'll write a more proper post tomorrow.
Today I thought I'd share images from this art series by Chris Jordan that I've admired for a few weeks now. Just like GreenDaddy, he's running the numbers on consumption...but clearly in a very different way.
Cans Seurat, 2007
60x92" archival inkjet print
Depicts 106,000 aluminum cans, the number used in the US every thirty seconds.

wowza. those are incredible pieces. thanks for passing that on.
I've started drinking tap water out of a coffee mug at work instead of drinking water from plastic bottles or soda from aluminum cans. I have to fill the mug from the sink in the bathroom. Sometimes I feel strange doing things like that, but I really shouldn't be the one who feels strange. Is that how other folks think about Chris Jordan's pieces? The art and the scale shock you into thinking differently.
I dig this everso!
yeah i really like the suv one, the denial, too. and the vicodin. hard to choose a favorite...
love it.
