Observing Income of the Top Decile Print

This work was originally created for a political fundraiser. I borrow a graph depicting income inequality from Thomas Pickett’s “Capital in the 21st Century” and overlay it on the US map. The top of this burned canvas shows the path of a distant star passing behind a massive ringed planet, which is a nod to the power of careful observation to wring reality from messy data. Putting these elements together I seek to point out how imperative careful observation is to the problem of extraordinary income disparities. I am suggesting with this piece that an equivalent skill is needed to take innumerable economic statistics and make them comprehensible to the voting public. This burned canvas tries to make a metaphor of the graph, a rising water line that erodes the foundation of our country, the prosperity of our fellow citizens. The painting is on heavy duty stretcher bars and heavy raw canvas. Ready to hang.
