From ‘The Deleted World,’ a tarot deck project begun in late 2020.
“Many influences went into this deck, from emerging technologies and internet cultures, to occult histories and tarot illustrations past. Admittedly, tarot and internet technologies don’t seem like the most intuitive pairing. Yet this deck explores a common thread: the promise of a better world that never takes material form.” — Josh Urban Davis
