When responding to a post about using plastic bags at the grocery store, I figured I should make my response a little more widespread. I've blogged about the work of Chris Jordan before- and with any luck I will see an exhibit of his one day.
Jordan uses his photographic skills to give his viewer insight into American consumption habits. From light bulbs, barrels of oil and paper bags, to breast augmentations and prisoners in our corrections systems, Jordan puts into perspective what we take for granted everyday.
I recommend looking at his web site, http://www.chrisjordan.com/, for a paradigm shifting view of how much we use and how much goes to waste. His depiction of social and economic woes are worth a peek, too.
I'll keep checking his exhibit schedule. I'll let you know when a Jordan exhibit comes to Boston. Anyone want to petition the MFA with me??
