Paper Bags, 2007
Depicts 1.14 million brown paper supermarket bags, the number used in the US every hour.

This project (Running the Numbers; An American Self-Portrait) visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs.
