Chan's \I-Ching Cards/ artist book is a boxed set of 64 cards and instructions – with original text interpretation and images that were hand-printed with hand-carved rubber stamps. This artist book is offset printed in an edition of 50.

"The I-Ching, The Book of Changes is a 3000-year-old oracle Chinese divination tool that does not tell you what to do, but inspires you to answer your own questions – the activity is interactive. One is able to ‘read’ in infinite directions as it guides one through life”
