The limited edition of 50 decks is letterpress printed in black ink on thick cream paper. Each limited edition deck is hand-signed and authenticated by the artist and comes with a unique bag made from remnants of the fabrics used for the exhibition’s pillows, handmade ceramic beads used for the exhibition’s curtains, and twine.
