Artist's Statement

It is OK to look at these cards, play around with them, and place them back as you wish. There is a story to be found in there, if you take the time to look and give away the need to solve a riddle.

I hope you find a way to keep the weight on the top of the pedestal steady so the silk will stay in place as is. It will speak to the nature of your success: in finding me, and finding something else that is sure to be there.
