I Tarocchi
I Tarocchi
The tarocchi cards take us to a dimension of bizarre imagery inhabited by
grotesque, twisted characters, weird pictorial metaphors, strange environments
and deep symbolism.
The artist, reluctant as ever to give too much away,
viewed these works as symbolising metaphysics, mysticism and truths of so subtle
and divine an order that to “express them boldly in human language would be a
sacrilege”
This rather grandiose statement, like others she has made, tends
to obscure the humour that can be found in much of her work, and which is
displayed in abundance in this series. Drunkien felines, shifty-eyed immoral
monks and all manner of machiavellian rogues make frequent
appearances.
