The Six of Swords – or The Six of Blades as we’re calling it in The Dream Logic Tarot – indicates a “regretful but necessary transition, rite of passage.”
For this card we used a dagger with a damascus-style blade and a background image of clouds from the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in NM. We also used a stain glass image from a Church in Providence of the All Seeing Eye, which I turned into a fractal with orbit traps in Adobe Photoshop.

The Rio Grande Gorge bridge is always stunning — I cannot even imagine what the Grand Canyon must be like.
We live in a vast, alien, & unforgiving universe entirely indifferent to human life.
To understand how small our planet is; how little the universe cares about our morals, ideals, and aspirations would drive us insane.
Fortunately, our minds are too small to comprehend these truths; sparing most of us from madness and despair.
These images are an attempt at giving the viewer a glimpse of the unseeable. Cheers!
These images are for the NecronomiCon Providence Convention. The NecronomiCon is the upcoming H. P. Lovecraft Convention at Providence’s Biltmore and surrounding venues.
Art Exhibition “Groupthink” reviewed on theartblog.org. The show was curated by (my sister) painter Lauren Gidwitz.
Some people treat correspondences in the works of alumni from a particular art school like the signs of an emerging art movement. In Groupthink, curator (and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) alumna) Lauren Gidwitz takes the opposite stance. The organizing idea behind the show is how these artists, trained in close proximity to one another at PAFA, may have influenced or been influenced by one other. Emerging strands in the show include a trend towards taxonomy and miniaturization of compositions in a way that suggests artists who stand in a peculiar relation to the classical traditions they may or may not have been taught at their beloved but somewhat old-fashioned art school. The show was held at the Pierre S. du Pont Arts Center Gallery of Tower Hill Academy in Wilmington, Delaware, which as of last year, has begun a tradition of annually hosting a PAFA alumni and student show.
