Tiger Tarot By Lori Field - 2023 Limited Edition Release

Lori Field: Tiger Tarot is a multidisciplinary exhibition centered on tarot cards the artist created during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. This exhibition is the first solo museum show for Lori Field (b. 1955), a resident of Montclair, NJ. Known for her mysterious modern-day fairytales in multiple mediums, Field employs a reoccurring cast of human and animal hybrids to explore themes of identity, vulnerability, and spirituality. Her characters, predominantly female or androgynous, serve as foils or narrators.

With the tiger as her talisman, Field envisions her tarot as representing a subversive and emerging feminine concept of power. Of her Tiger Tarot, Field states, “tigers are symbolic of a fierce, true inner capacity to survive and rule over their own nature. They take the chaos of the world and create their own space that is protective, and royal.” For Field, the tiger is a bridge between civilizations of the past and the survival of our own.
