    Jordan began a series of digital photographs that present contemporary American culture via statistics regarding American excess. Each image portrays a specific quantity of consumption or cultural value; two million plastic beverage bottles represent the number used in the U.S. every five minutes. Jordan portrays these statistics by incorporating them visually in large, intricately detailed photographic prints assembled from thousands of smaller images.The exhibition is the first comprehensive presentation of this internationally-known artist’s work.
