House of Cards

An image of the White House deconstructs as text on the reverse documents blunders and evil-doings since the 2001 inauguration.“Exactly what we’ve come to expect of Karen Hanmer’s work: structure and content in lockstep, meticulous craft, pointed and unsubtle satire eliciting immediate visceral response. Again she reminds us that emotional impact doesn’t depend on complexity. The only incongruity is emotional: the books reference nursery rhymes, toys, and the innocence of children; the minimal text of House of Cards – from Abu Ghraib to Paul Wolfowitz – elicits from at least one reader tears of loss and frustration.” -- Bill Stewart, Vamp and Tramp. House of Cards, Jacob’s ladder format, 2.5” x 3.5” x 1.25”. Edition of 30, $250. The House That George Built, flip book version without text, 2.5” x 4.5” x .75”. Edition of 100, $40.
