kelli rae adams, “Forever in Your Debt”
“Forever in Your Debt, my current project, is a material data visualization of the average individual student debt burden in the United States — approximately $37,000. The bowls represent the physical volume of this sum, based on the premise that a pint of mixed change equals approximately $40. As a durational installation, the bowls gradually accumulate visitors’ contributions of coin. Those who offer enough coins to fill a bowl will receive one of the vessels from the installation when exhibition of the work is complete, after a period of several years.” (source)
