| detail from Community Chest (2016) |
Community Chest is a small (2x3") deck of cards meant to be held, shuffled, read, and re-read to create different combinations of the hand-printed phrases, leading to new poems and new understandings. The cards are a collection of iterations, questions, possibilities, and responses meant to rub against each other and change with each encounter. The Community Chest cards are hand-cut, hand-stamped, and presented in a card case. You can read some excerpts from Community Chest online, published in a recent issue of Yew: A Journal of Innovative Writing & Images by Women.
As I'm interested, too, in seeing how these incredibly tactile cards will play online, I'm planning to create an e-version of Community Chest where the cards will be randomly reshuffled upon each viewing.
