I had a little tea party
this afternoon at three.
‘Twas very small,
three guests in all,
Just I, myself and me.
 
“The Tea Party”
Jessica Nelson North

[Tea Party, the latest image in my Card Games series, is both my newest work and my earliest surviving work. It features a page that I colored when I was 3 years old. To create the photo-collage, I added the unknown little girl, whose portrait probably dates from the early 20th century. Like the other images in the Card Games series, this one deals with identity, boundaries, time/space, and reality versus imagination.]
