Photographer Chris Jordan‘s show Running the Numbers opens at Ithaca College’s Handwerker Gallery on Feb. 28. (Details here.)
This is typical of his work, an image made up of images of 106,000 aluminum cans — thirty seconds of U.S. can consumption.
I first blogged about Jordan back in September. Then he showed up on the Colbert Report in October:
The picture with the cans is so beautiful. I saw a much less complex rendition of a flower made from cans at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, IN just a few weeks ago. I don’t remember the artist. I think it amazing what people can do with cans.
