SUMMARY:July Artists of the Month Opening Reception & Gallery Talk - Garin Horner & Christine Reising
DESCRIPTION:5:30-7:00 PM– Opening Reception \nExhibit Title: Two Tarot Visions: Art of Garin Horner & Christine Reising \nAn exhibition of two Tarot card collections\, created in two different processes\, photography and printmaking. \nAbout The Wonder Workers: A Major Arcana Tarot Series \nWonder workers are people who perform miracles or astonishing acts. The Wonder Worker major arcana Tarot cards contain portraits of people who fall into these categories. The cards started as monotype prints that were created on a soft plate with acrylic paints. Each print started with an inkjet transfer using imagery related to the person and concept of the Tarot card. Conceptually\, this series was initiated by the discovery of the French mystic and healer Nizier Anthelme Philippe. I found him\, or perhaps he found me\, while researching a trip to Provence. I discovered that his grave was located in the Loyasse Cemetery in Lyon\, first on my itinerary. Cemeteries are a vital part of travel for me as they are the repositories of the history and culture of a location. After arriving at a series focusing on mystics\, I was then inspired to seek out others from France and eventually broadened my search to include additional countries and periods. \nOf course\, Maitre Philippe became my Magician. \nAbout the Crowley & Waite Victorian Tarot Deck \nIn many ways The Crowley-Waite Victorian Tarot deck is unique among the vast assortment of tarot card decks. Though the deck’s imagery is modeled after the enduring Rider-Waite-Colman-Smith deck\, the pictures on the cards are photorealistic. Some of the photos\, like the Hanged Man\, have also been reimagined to expand their metaphorical and symbolic meanings. The design concept for the card’s imagery is based on vintage cabinet cards\, Victorian era photographs widely produced across the U.S. and Europe. \nThe pictures are a fusion of real vintage cabinet card portraits\, late 19th-century landscape photos\, and the photographic art and design of Garin Horner.  Photoshop is used to stitch the composites together. Note: all sourced photographs are in the public domain and copyright-free. \nIn addition\, the deck features historical figures\, including the namesakes of this deck: the famed occultist Aleister Crowley and the scholarly mystic Arthur Edward Waite. Among the portraits in the major and minor arcana\, Horner highlighted many mystics and occultists\, both real and fabled. Doing so\, he fabricated remarkable photo-realistic imagery that stirs the imagination and awakens a reader’s intuition. \n7:00-8:00 PM – Gallery Talk: The Art of Making Tarot Cards\nThe Art of Making Tarot Cards brings together two distinct artistic voices. Join photographer Garin Horner and printmaker Chris Reising for a rare\, behind-the-scenes look at how tarot decks are conceived\, built\, and brought to life. Come and learn how the artists reimagined tarot traditions through a contemporary lens. From the initial concept to the finished cards\, they’ll unpack the visual decisions\, symbolic frameworks\, and creative risks that shape a working deck. \nThis talk is also a practical guide for creators. Whether you are newly interested in tarot or are an experienced reader\, this conversation is meant to help you visualize what your own deck would look like. Horner and Reising will share real-world methods\, workflows\, and lessons learned from making their own decks. They’ll offer concrete strategies you can use to begin (or refine) your own tarot project. If you’ve ever wondered how to translate ideas into images or turn a personal vision into a cohesive system of symbols\, this talk will give you both direction and inspiration to take the next step.\n\n\nGarin Horner\nGarin Horner is an artist\, author\, and full professor of Art at Adrian College in Adrian\, Michigan. He has been an award-winning photographer for over 30 years. Horner’s work has been exhibited worldwide and is included in the collections of several art museums across the United States. Horner is an authority on pedagogy in photography higher education and has authored three influential books on teaching and learning photography. He is a long-standing member of the Royal Photographic Society in England and the Society for Photographic Education in the U.S. \nChristine Reising\nChristine Reising is a multi-disciplinary artist who has been exhibiting for more than forty years throughout the Midwest and Canada. Her varied art practice includes printmaking\, collage and book arts. She has constructed and designed over 30 of her own books and has collaborated with other artists and writers on theirs.

She received her Master of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking from the University of Windsor in 1980. Professor Emerita Reising taught at Siena Heights University from 1984 until her retirement in 2014.
