tarot seems to have popped up in every corner of my life lately / seems like you have to be receptive to signs from the divine sometimes, perhaps in this case there’s an irony given the history of tarot being used for divination
i’m lucky enough to have spent a residency at the Berlin Art Institute and decided I wanted to attempt to create 78 paintings over this time, each responding to one of the mysteries posed by each tarot card / i’m interested in bringing these into an everyday context, examining the practice of attempting to include spirituality in a chaotic 21st century worker life
the future of this project will be to convert the paintings into a deck of cards, as well as producing a zine with info about each // slideshows of all the cards are below, click to scroll thru xx
