The Fool

For symbolism, imagery, story telling, lessons, spirit connection the Major Arcana is an embarrassment of riches. 
I have decided to let my hands wander with my mind and create Wearable Art inspired by The Major Arcana. Whatever the cards dictate. 
Starting with the first and the last card - The Fool
And dancing on
The wanderer
The squanderer
Our son was dying and we could hardly eat
They dragged me by the ankles through the street.
They passed me round them like a piece of meat
His hairy hands
His falling fists
His dancing cock
Down by his knees
I've seen my children turn away from me.
Two Dancers - Wild Beasts
The Fool
