I have always been intrigued by the regimentation of playing cards. The systems, the numbers and specificity inherent in cards are amazing. Removed from their position on each playing card, the pips take on a new life in these works. So, here are those pips rearranged in a new context and with hyper-regimentation for Summer Leisure: Cards.
