In 2024 I started reading a book on Magick called "The Night School" by Maia Toll. A book on the "mysteries of being human".  It helped me to look into my subconscious and start unravelling the layers of what I thought was my "Self" to figure out who I really was underneath all those layers of societal expectations.

Tarot "Major Arcana" Meditations 

These paintings were done as a series of meditations using an audiobook by Kim Krans the author of the Wild Unknown Tarot deck. The audiobook "Major Arcana Meditations" is a series of short meditations, each giving you the feeling of the card through music.

To create these paintings, I took a sip of water and held it in my mouth for the duration of the meditation. Allowing It to become a part of my saliva. I then spat the water at the paper at the end of the meditation. Whilst re-playing the same meditation, I added watercolour pigment to the puddles of water. Each one took on a different shape depending on the force being spat out, which in turn was influenced by the feeling I got from each cards meditation soundtrack.

I then used a pen to draw my version of the tarot card over the top of the inkblots. Sometimes working with them to find shapes, and other times using the splodges as a background or contrasting element.
