| | Catya Plate — Clothespin Tarot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | Inspired by the 78 cards of the Tarot, the hero in these watercolor and pencil drawings is the Clothespin Freak, an anthropomorphized clear plastic clothespin figure reenacting Tarot characters. |
 | | Because the female-empowered Clothespin Freak of the Clothespin Tarot has a fondness for needle work and likes to surround itself with sewing paraphernalia, the four suits of the Tarot which are originally swords, wands, pentacles and cups are here replaced by hatpins, darners, buttons and thimbles. |
 | | The clothespin is generally associated with the woman's task of doing the dirty laundry and hanging the clothes out to dry, but by relating it with the symbolic and divinatory meanings of the Tarot it demonstrates wisdom and illustrates that things are not always as they appear. |
