This painting uses tax return and government contract data to show 1) donations to Chicago's Police Union and Police Department and 2) the firms who win city contracts with the CPD. The two violet circles represent the Chicago Police Department (above), and union (below), the remaining circles are private entities. Green lines represent donations to police. Black lines represent contracts won by the private firms. This painting visualizes how flow of donations from actors in the background lead to contracts with police in the foreground.
