“I have always been fascinated with the Tarot. My mother gave me my first Tarot at 18. I have been going to the same tarot reader for over a decade, every June. There are 78 cards in a tarot deck , 22 of them are the Major Arc ana, the subject of this show. They are considered the main episodes in everyone’s life or the journey of the soul. The rest, 56, are divided in the 4 suits: swords (mental), cups (emotional), wands (spiritual) and disks (physical). I have wanted to make a tarot deck of my own for a long time. I wondered why so many artists have been drawn to ma king tarot decks ; Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Francesco Clemente etc. What is that relationship between Art and the Source, the need to communicate with something greater, how to communicate with something that doesn’t have a physical form ?
But it wasn’t until two different people – a photographer and a film maker – two days apart said to me that it is time to do the tarot. I doubted myself but I trusted the process. We invited the eminence in the subject to teach us, Marianne Costa. I studied Angeles Arrien’s book and the 1930’s deck of Lady Frieda Harris.
Since March 17th, I have thrown the tarot daily, three cards. I t takes decades to become a master of reading the symbols and messages , but this ritual became a grounding anchor. I throw it, study their meaning, write it, photograph it, record it. I sketch every card and I started to see the patterns of which card I would get the most (Ace of Cups, the trusting heart). I realize they are tools to visualize for our minds , which are extremely plastic and can be reprogrammed.
The synchronicities started happening. When I get a challenging card, I work through it to reset it. There are 13 challenge cards, 6 of them are swords (mental) which make sense as most of our challenges are within us and our brain perception. This oracle, a medium of which we do not know the origins with certainty, has been with our civilization for centuries or more, always transmitting.
Even the run of show that fell into place based on the garments starts with the Empress – the principle of love with wisdom, the Earth Mother – and finishes with the Hangman of surrender, breaking old patterns. For sure this is a time for breaking patterns…” – Gabriela Hearst
