Invert, Oracle
A catalog of the 1988 tarot-themed installation by West Coast artist David Cannon Dashiell (grandson of Dashiell Hammett). Where Leonara Carrington’s tarot art is esoteric and abstruse, Dashiell’s is intimately autobiographical. The work is quirky, its revelations about his eccentric father and chronically ill mother disturbing. Dashiell died of AIDS in 1993. Copies of the catalog are available at AbeBooks.
