簡介

+ Though the word "anecdotes" now commonly means "short, amusing stories," its original sense was of a "secret history." In the opposite trajectory, Tarot has transformed from an amusing card game to a supposed container for secret histories of its own. The pictures themselves are anecdotal - narrative miniatures - and like pieces of music, they hold moments and memories. The basis of this deck is Joanna Newsom's music, which like Tarot elicits obsessive diving and pattern-seeking. The narrators of Newsom's songs are archetypal in the same was as the figures of the Tarot trumps. I began in Autumn 2018 with an idle sketch combining Trump IX (Time, or The Hermit) with the song "Soft As Chalk," and other connections gradually revealed themselves. The result is not a literal or definitive interpretation, but my personal response to both the music and the characters of the cards. Every card in this deck is inspired by a specific lyric, or a song as a whole. The 22 trumps follow the sequence of our old friend, the Tarot de Marseille. The imagery in all the cards has been inspired by other historic Tarots, such as the Sola Busca deck, the "Mantegna Tarocchi," and the decks of the Etteilla school. The songs of the trumps span the entire discography.
