The collage grew out of my looking at Tarot decks and the symbolic figures of the Arcana of which the Hanged Man is one. Despite his seemingly dire situation—hanging upside down by one leg, the apparent prisoner of a giant bird—he is not an unlucky character necessarily to draw in a tarot reading: as with most things related to the tarot, a rich symbol like this one can convey both a primary meaning AND its antithesis or opposite. So the Hanged Man is not invariably an ominous symbol of the future: indeed he may suggest the opposite; a liberation from suffering and vulnerability. The goofy little figure from one of (I think) Nicholas Hilliard’s Elizabethan miniatures, seemed to capture this droll wisdom: that it’s always darkest before the dawn.
