 The shuffled stack grew out of an interest and collaborative response to the work of artist Robert Gober’s Newspaper 1992. It began as a stack with the idea that pieces could be cut away, subtracted, leaving what was hidden and what was to be discovered. Through a mailing process back and forth from Seattle to Chicago, the pieces shuffled and changed into new stacks, eventually cannibalizing one another until the work transformed into several different malleable stacks and constructions.  

 These works continue to grow in scale, meaning and source material.   For this 2023 Terrain Exhibition, SeaChi artists worked together onsite for the first time.  The individual work specific to this project was primarily done in private studios, later assembled and changed on site to create new works.
