Chris Jordan

I have recently been reading up on Chris Jordan. I have seen his work a few times in the last couple of years and have decided (for a few different reasons) to study his work further. I believe strongly in what his work is about and also find beauty in it. Just now I read the interview with Chris Jordan on Joerg Colberg's blog and I am utterly amazed by so many things and I am moved and excited and depressed and so many other things. This might be because of my fragile state of mind lately or simply because he seems to be an amazing person, but I want to say that he is my hero. He is so humble and real and passionate. He talk's about striving for simplicity which is something I've always tried to do and feel like ever since I have been in NY I have been doing the opposite and it is really hard on me. Please read this interview to learn and be amazed and inspired.
