Global Elasticity

elastic, grommets, hooks, 60 x 84

​Have you ever listened to an Economist speak? The words they juxtapose against one another sound like poetry. Just listen: ECONOMIC MIGHT, RESOURCE IMMOBILITY, MARKET EQUILIBRIUM. It is the phrase GLOBAL ELASTICITY that serves as the catalyst for this work of art. Price can alter demand and vice versa. A map of the world, constructed from elastic, stretched and slightly distorted is the visual realization of the cause-and-effect relationship found in our global economy.
