A tarot deck of 78 metaphysical whisky tasting notes, each written in response to a whisky the artist has sampled. “To Conjure from Vapour” considers the tasting note as a communion with the “spirit” world (spirit as alcohol, or breath, or soul, or ideal…). It includes a card with a custom text for each of the 22 Major Arcana and the 56 Minor Arcana, with the implements of spiritcraft replacing the traditional suits (barrel staves for wands, clocks for coins, glasses for cups, and hammers for swords). The deck facilitates the divination of one’s taste before even touching the spirit; a potomancer’s companion.
The 22 Major Arcana are also rendered by hand in copper and coal as large unique works on paper.
