TAROT: UNICORN WELL
(The Ace or Archetype of Cups)
1991 digital image based on a 1978 Tarot card (felt pen, 3x5")
by Chris Wayan
The Well of Feelings is guarded by the Black Unicorn: the shadow of all the feelings you deny.
(It's not innocence that guards the heart.)
The damnedest things come from the pool of the heart; the waterlilies of compassion grow from such mysterious mud.
Cups of glowing passion, borne by our bodies, and robed in reason (or rationalization), enlighten the midnight mist...
or should I say its full name? Mistrust.
NOTE
I lacked a scanner, so I digitized my sketch with a borrowed videocamera and painted on top of the blurry result.
The pool, the odd light, the waterlily torch-bearers and the black unicorn are all borrowed from unrelated dreams.
