these drawings were created in a journey to the subconscious, where hopes and fears litter the minds landscape, seeking symbols to hold on to. a place of raw contemplation and wayfinding.
the first documented tarot packs were recorded between 1440 and 1450 in milan, ferrara, florence and bologna. each card in the tarot deck represents a theme of the human condition, divided into the 78 cards that shape the whole experience spectrum of what it means to be human.
my illustrations are influenced by blackwork tattooers and linocut printworkers from the likes of engraver kaoru kawano (1916-1965) and tattooist jack ankersen.
tarot is a map, providing us imagery and symbolism to guide us beyond the ego into the seeker on the quest for truth. it is often confronting and sometimes downright ruthless.
i approach each card as it comes up in my personal life, as a place of personal meditation to mark the guideposts that have led me here.
