‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:

Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.

As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”

I've started the process of documentation on the last labyrinth, which is...an undertaking.

Another one of my EPP quilted pieces I finished recently. This was originally going to be a larger piece in combination with the other one I did (see here) as a large panel, but I decided they would work better as independent projects.

This was my first foray into non-hexagonal paper piecing as well as designing my own EPP patterns and I've certainly learned a lot. Very tricky to get the pieces to work sometimes, but easy enough to design and fun to work on. I'd love to pattern out a full sized quilt using this style, but I imagine it would be much more difficult to complete. We'll see!

Thanks for looking :)
