Donut Economics, 2023

18"x 24, Oil and balloon stickers on canvas, framed. Doughnut Economists, 2023. For a thriving 21st century… policy makers look to the doughnut economy model. Everything between the environmental ceiling and social foundation is a safe and just space for humanity. This model is replacing the GDP growth model economies have been based on for centuries. The thing 🤔 is 🧐… since we experience time linearly …. growth is one way to make sure everything stays good 👍. Problem is… systems are better cyclical, init… so 😬 I was wanting to creat art that had no beginning or end… but ended up just making a hope amulet that would stand for the feeling in all our hearts. Please let’s get this sh*t show under control already! Glad to know leaders look to the Doughnut chart 🙏❤️ ohhh… and the fruitcake reference is pointing to the playful nature of humanity… our goofball selves is closest to our happy-ay side. Like dolphins… ya’ know! (If you need an economist I used @sophlately as a reference… thank you Sophia!!!
