I've seen some of Chris Jordan's work over the years and have loved it all. You can Google it if you want to see it. However, I've never seen him nor heard him speak to know the person behind the work. This was very nice to see how much he cared about the work he does and his vision of America's problems and what Americans must all do about it rather than ignore it, blame others or just not be able to comprehend it.

Artist Chris Jordan shows us an arresting view of what Western culture looks like. His supersized images picture some almost unimaginable statistics -- like the astonishing number of paper cups we use every single day.

Chris Jordan runs the numbers on modern American life -- making large-format, long-zoom artwork from the most mindblowing data about our stuff.
