“A new twist on an ancient art, this selection of pieces explores the timeless archetypes of tarot with bold, kaleidoscopic collage landscapes made up of a multitude of symbols, both new and old. Each hand-assembled collage is made up of dozens of tiny fragments, each element conscientiously selected from an ever-growing library of found materials and then carefully and purposefully combined back together in a new form. Tarot is an art form that transcends time and place: an unending storyline of archetypes who have lived countless lives in countless forms.”

About the artist

Hannah Freitag

American

Hannah Freitag resides among pine trees and rain clouds in the Pacific Northwest with her partner and their chatty cat. The variety of landscapes that surround her - forests, beaches, mountains and plains – heavily inspire her art, as do all the plants and animals that call them home. She is a chaser of dreams, a multidisciplinary creative, and a lifelong student of the Divine. Hannah’s art is informed by a myriad of seemingly disparate personal interests; psychology, spirituality, sociology, physics, mythology, and nature, just to name a few. She also draws heavily on her life experience and hopes to inspire the same healing she has gone through in others; particularly within the realm of recovering from trauma and rediscovering the self through introspection. Following the same process as she does with her collages, Hannah practices breaking these interests and experiences apart into pieces, and then bringing them back together in a new form. Hannah’s faith in the guidance of the Universe is a huge factor in her art career and she incorporates a daily spiritual practice into her creative routines. Her art is based heavily around symbolic languages that have aided others’ spiritual journeys through centuries. Currently, she is working with the archetypes and format of the Tarot, a divinatory practice that she has personally used in her own spiritual evolution. Each of her art pieces uses both ancient and modern symbolism to represent phases of the spiritual journey, and are meant to resonate on a deep and intrinsic level.
