The Joker (1 of 2)

Antoinette Burchill

Dimensions
18 x 13 x 0.2

The Jokers are picture cards that refuse allegiance to a specific team or suit. They are the wild cards – the unpredictable, mischievous tricksters of the pack. The Jokers can work for - or against - you to win or lose the game. Depending on the game, and your position in it, they can take on a variety of roles. The Joker teaches us to act in an alert and timely manner. A lesson that is equally applicable to life, relationships and the playing of Games. The Card Deal Jokers assert their traditional English heritage but acknowledge, and are contextualised by sports iconography.
