Think Think Think...

Self-Serving

The next project has to do with layering of text and images to create a new pattern, design, motif, etc. I think that for this series that I will use my personal tarot decks to help translate the concept of communication and interpretation by using items that naturally are interpreted through visual cues alone. Most people are familiar with the cards of the Major Arcana that have the most obvious connections to what they say visually. Example...most people flip out if I draw the Death card. However, that card doesn't possess such a literal translation. The attempt is to create a clarification, but giving a word that directly connects to the meaning of the card, but using the same card from another deck to use as the second image. The two cards look vastly different, though the mean the same thing, and yet, the one word that clarifies the two is lost between them.




Clientele


Well, what the hell...I thing that I'll continue to us the tarot motif and find some model to work with besides myself this time around. I still want to do something for Vivienne Westwood, but maybe I need to move on to someone else. Damnit....I may have to use myself again...

I have the strange thought of combining the idea of a magician playing card tricks. I have the top hat and tails, and i can fudge the drapery. I thing that this time I won't use a piece of her product line so litereally, but implay that it is something of her making. I'll find clothes that look similar enough to her wardrobe lines.
