  Artist Statement
“Have you ever listened to an economist speak? The words they juxtapose against one another sound like poetry. Just listen to these examples: '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.”
