Digital print on card
Dimensions (cm): 6.5 x 9
A series of fourteen illustrated cards inspired by collectible trading (or tactical) card games (TCGs). The title of the piece also imitates the standard format of how these TCGs are titled, e.g. ‘Magic: The Gathering’ or ‘Sorcery: Contested Realm’. The piece exists in a world where local social/working class history clashes with the mythology/folklore of West Yorkshire. The backgrounds of the cards are taken from scanned oak leaves, linking the work back to ᚪ (Oak). They are presented on an identical table to Bog Finds, yet here the connotations are of a gaming or tournament table.
