Community Chest (2016). Artist’s Book / Poetry Deck, Edition of 12. Ionized stock, rubber stamp.
Community Chest is a small (2×3″) 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.
Limited availability. You may purchase Community Chest at my Etsy shop.
