Karma Tarot      1983 Birgit Boline Erfurt      USA                                                   Art Medium: Pen or pencil with watercolour, with no hard outlines. Description: Erfurt lived in the Christiana commune in Copenhagen from 1976-1978. This was a former military base which was taken over by the youth movement in 1970 and proclaimed to be an autonomous neighbourhood of about 850 residents, a 'free city' and urban commune for artists. The cards depict images of artists, dancers, musicians, clowns and street performers and it is likely that much of this imagery was inspired by her experiences of the other residents in Christiana. Her imagery for the Minor Pips seems entirely personal, while her Majors and Courts follow, though in her own style, the established forms.
