"The Tarot"
Vancouver Community College Jewellery Art & Design Diploma Project 2015
The Tarot acts as a picture book of life's journey, as a mirror to the individual, and as a portal to our shared unconscious.
I have used precious metals and gemstones to describe five of the Major Arcana Tarot cards as illustrated by Pamela Colman-Smith in the deck known most widely as "The Rider-Waite Tarot".
I chose The Fool, whom represents the hero at the very beginning of her journey; The Lovers, an important choice along the path; Death, descent into the shadow realm; The Tower, destruction of old ways; and The World, harmony and joy in balance.
