Tarot Interviews
A series of six interviews with six multidisciplinary artists for Schema Magazine’s first issue - Tilda’s Tale.
Inspired by the magazine’s theme of ‘Building Castles in the Sky’, prophecies and fortune telling, I created 24 questions split into 8 themes: Fantasy, Challenge, Breakthrough, Blockage, Release, Advice and Intuition.
These questions were later developed into cards that I used to draw from for each interviewee, replicating the setting of a tarot reading and creating a unique combination of six questions for each one. The recipients could reply to the questions in their own desired order and had the option to replace one of them with a new draw if they wished to.
