Fun With Numbers

Chris Jordan, a Seattle artist, has created a series of prints called Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait in which he graphically depicts statistics that we often hear but never quite conceptualize.

For example, take his rendition of two million plastic beverage bottles. That is the number used in the US every five minutes.



This is a close-up.

Thanks to my dad for sharing this with me.
