Description
Limited edition of twelve copies, signed and numbered by the artist. "[A]n unbound book that addresses debt, meeting family obligations and responsibilities of the present economic times for this new group of Americans. The viewer can manually stack the pieces of the sandwich randomly or logically. But anyway you approach it the problem still exists and looks the same from any vantage point. This is a small edition of 12 artist books housed in authentic vintage plaid collectable lunch pails. The 60's era lunch box is filled with a chocolate milk carton combined with faux fruit, potato chips and a cookie"--Accompanying booklet. Inkjet printed.
"'The Sandwich Generation' is about Baby Boomers who are sandwiched between the debt incurred from children that failed-to-launch into society as financially independent Gen X'ers and their aging parents who were ill prepared for the present skyrocketing cost of living, healthcare, and increasing longevity. The Baby Boomers manifesto was steeped in personal freedoms and non-traditional lifestyles but now they no longer can operate under the 'rule of no rules'...they got sandwiched! ... 'The Sandwich Generation' is both a title and phenomenon that 16 million middle-aged Americans are given and caught between. They now have financial pressures of providing for aging parents and young adult children neither of which can make it independently in the work place. High unemployment and lack of job opportunites, coupled with inflation is the enemy of the Baby Boomers today"--Accompanying booklet.
