I made a deck of cards! 🃏🃏🃏 In my deck I chose themes for each suit, coming from my own catalogue of images and inspired by tarot and regular playing cards. ♣️Clubs are flowers, plants, shells; items from the natural world. ♦️Diamonds are pentacles and other geometric forms. ♠️Spades are meant to represent human made forms and (slightly sinister) ideas. ♥️Hearts are cups, vases and vessels. I love playing cards and that they are so ancient. Playing cards were invented in China in the 9th century! The first ever recorded book about cards called Yezi Gexi was written by a Tang Dynasty era woman. The suits as we know them today came about in different forms over the centuries, from hearts, bells, leaves and acorns, to swords, wands, cups and coins. The Tarot evolved from playing cards in Italy in the 15th century. (And apparently playing cards can also be used like tarot, not just for crazy 8’s, my personal fave) These will debut at @printedmatter_artbookfairs in LA next week!
