The Cuisine Cards prints are inspired by images of the willy-nilly layout of plates for various decks of playing cards created by 17th c. German printers in the early days of printing presses. The actual imagery of these prints is entirely my own.
There are four different categories of foods for the suits and a hierarchy-free set of face cards: the Shaper (cook), Mover (wait staffer) and Taster. Each suit is set in a different part of the world, somehow connected to the particular food.
Suits are Herbs, Spices, Onions, and Tomatoes
The various words and ancient scripts included in each image all say the same thing, in contemporary english and in languages closer to the original cultures.
20 x 16" (18 x14" image) OFFSET LITHO REPRINTS, ON ARCHIVAL PAPER
Edition of 1000, signed and numbered by the artist. Printed in Canada.
A few hand-colored original block prints on St. Armand 100% cotton rag are still available; please inquire if interested.
