Cigarette Card Series
Sourced from a 1925 set of cigarette cards, the collectible trade cards tucked into tobacco packaging in the early twentieth century each piece in this series centres an orchid illustration originally printed to educate and entice. Removed from their context, reframed and presented as art objects, the cards carry both the elegance of botanical illustration and the strange nostalgia of mass-produced ephemera. Something meant to be collected, then discarded. Something that survived anyway.
