tasseography

2019
Watercolor, typewritten text on index card 
5” x 3”

A wavering, yet contiguous, blue line has been interrupted by one staccato mark. Drying lines and pooling of pigment reveal the history of this painting’s process. Tasseography is one of many names given to the widespread ritual practice of reading tea leaves or coffee grounds.

Blue Watercolors (Framed Selection)

2019
Watercolor, typewritten text on index cards
11.625” x 36.75”

A selection of five Blue Watercolors float in a vertical, maple shadow frame. The cards read, from top to bottom, Papyromancy, “divination by the howling of dogs,” a string of overtyped characters creating a single, indecipherable typewritten line, “divination by brain shape and personality type,” and Daphnomancy.

This selection of Blue Watercolors is sold framed and mounted as is. Substitutions are not permitted.
