TIKOT! - Visions from the Tiki Tarot @ FBG thru November - California Events

Grice gives us a Wheel rich with symbolism dating back to the early 15th century. Here, a Polynesian version of the goddess Fortuna spins at random, changing the positions of Tikis on the wheel - some suffering great misfortune, others gaining windfalls. Replacing the traditional Sphinx (objectivity), the Monkey (flexibility) and the Crocodile (creative power) with the Pueo (owl), Tako (octopus) and Mano (the shark), we see qualities the Querant will need to achieve prosperity. The flying pig has been caught, cooked and presented on a table of Taro leaves as a symbol of abundance. Attended by a smiling Menehune, Fortuna stands poised for the spinning, but even one step removed from outcome herself as her eyeless puppet tiki has his hand on the lever. The Wheel by S.L. Grice of Seattle Washington USA Acrylic on canvas $875 SOLD [ Edited by: hodadhank 2009-11-09 12:56 ]
