Elemental Hexagons      2007 Calyxa Omphalos      USA                                                   Art Medium: Photographs with some collage. Description: Each card is associated with one of the naturally occuring chemical elements, that is from Hydrogen to Uranium, which the ceator of the deck associates with various qualities which can be used in a divinatory system. Some cards are associated to the 22 major Arcana but not numbered sequentially. Thus Helium is the Fool and Lithium Justice. It is very unclear why these associations have been made. The cards are numbered according to the atomic number of the element within the Periodic Table. Some elements inexplicably have been omitted - Gallium and Indium, for example, are very important elements commercially in the manufacture of computer chips.
