Moon Head
2008-9
Pencil and Gouache on Paper
13" x 16"

This image is based on the Moon Tarot card.
"The card represents... life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit. [The light of the moon] illuminates our animal nature... the nameless and hideous tendency which is lower than the savage beast. It strives to attain manifestation, crawling from the abyss of water to the land, but as a rule it sinks back whence it came..."
(Waite, A.E., The Pictorial Key to the Tarot)
