This book comes at a time when the world is shifting between wakefulness and sleep; where in a wakeful dream, the more we try to focus on something the more it becomes an infinite number of other things - a thing unbecomes itself, while also being everything that it is not. It is the artist as the fool who dares touch this mercury.
Over a hundred years ago, the Artist and Pratt graduate, Pamela Colman Smith created the images for the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. While her version is the most widely used, it has been consigned to oblivion that her journey as an artist informed the work. Furthermore, it generally flies under the radar that the Tarot is organized by the Fool’s Journey. In How Art You the Artist as the Fool is guided through the tarot’s archetypical journey via the lens of artistic pilgrimage, supplemented by theopoetical dives that get to the bottom of prevalent enigmas. It is written in three parts braided into a guide-rope: The beginning, as what art is; the second, the journey; and the third, playful aftercare.
