The starting point for the outcome of this project/workshop is a book by Italo Calvino entitled "The castle of crossed destinies" which is a tale of travellers, as are we all in the workshop. I Calvino's story, weary travellers find themselves in a castle in the woods, bereft of speech, so attempt to tell their story using the tarot cards found on the table. When I read it, I presumed that each traveller choce the cards which best described their own journey, the narrator their interpretation.
We had a dicussion as to whether this was the case, or if the cards were chosen randomly. For our exercise, we decided to choose randomly/ invisible.
I received TEMPERANCE and THE MOON!!
Our mission, if we chose to accept it, was to contemplate our card/image/meaning nad devise a possible visual representation.
I went back to my hotel and swam and swam and thought and was confused nad excited. I decided I needed to get some idea of the meaning of the cards as I was worried about the idea of moderation.Over a wonderful steamed salmon followed by Bici Bici, I asked Mr Google for his wisdom, and started to read. I am afraid I then got so excited i drank too many pina coladas and my thoughts were racing that night.
