Chris Jordan, world renowned artist and photographer, is supporting DSCLN by offering a special edition of one of the photos from his Intolerable Beauty - Portraits of American Mass Consumption series. All proceeds from the sale of this limited edition print will go to DSCLN. The photograph, e Bank, Tacoma 2004 is 30″ by 40″.

The immense scale of our consumption can appear desolate, macabre, oddly comical and ironic, and even darkly beautiful; for me its consistent feature is a staggering complexity.

The pervasiveness of our consumerism holds a seductive kind of mob mentality. Collectively we are committing a vast and unsustainable act of taking, but we each are anonymous and no one is in charge or accountable for the consequences. I fear that in this process we are doing irreparable harm to our planet and to our individual spirits.
