Chris Johanson "dumpster-dives through the detritus of the modern world, transforming all manner of refuse into aesthetically recycled speculations on our past, present, and future." - Carlo McCormick. Now is Now was a collection of individual pieces by Johanson that was actually one piece that is part of his whole piece that is one continuous document about life Johanson explains that he likes to look at the little pictures in life as well as the big picture. A smile is just as important to him as a cosmic question about the nature of god. Now is Now was about how money shapes peace, how we are a part of the negative force of money, how history repeats itself, how greed human/animal energy can destroy, how important religion is for some, how looking out for the needy and insecure and lonely people and animals is important, how people screw up other peoples lives, how the sun is the main reason why we exist, how the sunlight of the spirit is the main positive force in life.
