The Tarot of Sorts
An Exhibition by Jameson Hampton
on view March 18 – April 23, 2022/ Studio Gallery
The Tarot of Sorts is a collage-style tarot deck, inspired by the major arcana of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith deck, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith in 1909. By constraining the art to what is available on letterpress blocks, it explores the traditional symbolism of the tarot in a unique and minimalist way, getting at the heart of how divinatory meaning is conveyed. Magic is about intention and manifestation, and by hand-printing the deck, each card is imbued with magical intention, which leads to the manifestation of the project as a whole.
The opening reception will be held Friday March 18th, 2022 from 5-8p.m.
