I was going to place a text next to series of tea cards, the ones people collect. They are a way of thinking about distribution of images, I also like the fact the part of the collection is from tea or smoking (in the case of the similar smoking card collectors items) and that both these activities facilitate conversation, but that tea is the particularly feminine version of these activities. (But collecting is seen as a boys game!)

The idea is also to think about the way in which we collect images and objects in a way that makes them meaningful-this is the start of the project-and the beginning of deconstructing our assumed roles alongside particular objects. 

The tea cards display a variety of images from different "collection titles" and these relate to cultural icons-people, objects which meditate death, objects which mediate the supernatural and objects which are so large that are only comprehensible in these objectified terms
