Handcuffed to Houdini.


©2008.StephanieEveGeorgopoulos

The "Kings & Queens" Thesis show went up in the Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea in NYC. Pretty amazing.

My body of work. 22-Tarot cards based on the life & world of Harry Houdini. The cards are those of the Major Arcaena, numbered 0-21. They are a journey- e a way to eximane the inner psyche & psychological evolution one must undergo to become balanced. The symbolic nature follows that of the traditional tarot cards, however I used my artistic liscense to alter the imagery in such a way to be more representational to Houdini.

They are painted on 7x9.5in massonite, cut & rounded to shape, then covered in canvas.. The .25in thick edges along with the letters are goldleafed.
