Catalog note:
"
Both the Coin and the Sword are man-made,

of the earth and feminine.

Catalog note:
"
This card is for you. The Fool is traditionally the unnumbered card of the Major Arcana. He is you as you wander into the wilderness, homeless and dressed in mismatched clothes. A dog barks and bites your leg to hurry you out of town."

Acrylic on paper, 68 x 44 inches.

 
Catalog note:

The Devil is the hunger you feed with your desire: the poison that feels so good until it kills you
