“If someone were trying to trap me,” writes Meg Elison in her review of the exhibit, “one of the surest ways would be to put up a sign to say there’s a show focused on tarot inside this building, this cardboard box, this tiger pit. This thing is a Witch magnet.”
Meg Elison reviews the exhibition of the surrealist artist Leonora Carrington’s sculpture currently on display at L’SPACE gallery in New York City.
“The witch in this story does not try to make it look natural,” writes Meg Elison of this 1942 classic. “She doesn’t play fair, split the difference, or win graciously for the sake of appearances. She wins utterly.”
“As I dig deeper into cartomancy,” writes Meg Elison, “I remember all the times that the dread revelations of the cards have shown up in stories I’ve loved. Tarot is often misused, represented not only inaccurately, but incorrectly.”
