“I have a special interest in symbols and allegorical images. Tarot imagery, as such, becomes an inspiration for many of my works. In this work, I took the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck (1909), with drawings by Pamela Colman Smith, and associated some of its cards to small statuary I had in my home. The idea of playing with dimensional images is really interesting to me, especially the movement of bringing a two-dimensional image to three dimensions. The figure leaves its frame, as if it were coming alive. My project is, then, a direct response to the images of the tarot, connecting them even more to the physical world. Their symbolism made manifest.“
