The OH Cards
Two decks of 88 cards each. One of paintings, one of words. Frame a painting with a word card and explore the meaning of the combination. The OH Cards have been compared to an unbound book of endless pages that leads into new adventure every time it is opened. Undeniably an understanding and an appreciation of one?s self and others develop during an OH game. Every combination of cards picked is an adventure, stories always emerge, stories full of laughter, lovely poems of of love and joy, sad tales of woe and pain...as well as private narratives told softly...to the silent room.
The OH Cards were created to put you in touch with yourself...and those around you. They enable you to focus on the most free and independent part of you...your intuition. Although often dismissed (?it?s just a feeling?), we know intuition is a constant, very powerful influence in our daily thoughts and actions.
A game of OH leads you to discover who you are at that moment, and even where you fit within your community. By providing a framework and a focus, the cards enable you to effortlessly tell others what you are currently thinking and feeling.
The sense of well being that emerges after a game of OH is difficult to explain...yet recognizable. There is a feeeling of renewed creativity, and a more relaxed view of life. The OH Cards lead you to enjoy communication at its best.
The feature that makes the OH Cards unique is that the system is as free as the player. That is to say, there is no underlying moral or conceptional system to guide or structure a user?s perception. Instead, when we play OH we are entirely responsible for what we are seeing in a combination of cards. This is an unusual and powerful reponsibility.
The ability of the OH Cards to relate to our conscious and unconsious daily lives is uncanny. Their capacity for relevence is largely due to the contemporary character of the paintings and the choice of words. A great deal of thought and care was taken in selecting the ideas represented in the cards so that they would reflect the round of life.
The OH Cards embody two of the major artistic concerns of their creator, Ely Raman: the confluence of psychology and art. Raman wants to reintroduce people to their creative capacity, to make the creative process more available to everyone. He feels that offering ?art? in the form of playing cards demystifies art, takes it out of the museums and galleries and brings it back to the imaginative response of individuals.
No matter where used, the basic purpose of the OH Cards remains the same: to provide a spirited and safe focal point in order to increase intuition and inner vision.
