ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The hierophant is one of those cards that when it comes up, it’s highly problematic for me. It represents established beliefs, and following an authoritative figure or group who can help you understand wisdom through tradition and practice. It often represents more masculine energy. I bring a lot of baggage to this card, which I’m still in the process of working through. There’s nothing wrong with wisdom found in tradition or with finding like minded communities that foster a sense of belonging. However, it’s important to move through these spaces with discernment and to trust your own intuition. Inverted the card represents moving from following an external source, to an internal one, trusting your own beliefs, knowledge, wisdom and practices. What can you learn from your your own core beliefs? Through the imagery of rope bondage, and still life composition, their recent exhibition, “The Ties That Bind” explores the reflective process of peeling off layers of identity, looking at the baggage we carry and making a conscious decision on what to let go of as we move towards a closer alignment with our authentic self.

Pitok Art
Australia
Pitok is a visual artist based in Sydney’s inner west. Having graduated from UNSW Art & Design (formerly the College of Fine Arts, Sydney), he has worked as a Visual Designer and Art Director commercially for the last 20 years. Since 2015 he has been creating personal painted works using gouache. Pitok utilises still life scenes, as a means of enshrining personal objects. These objects are totems that tie us to a time and place. A memory, a person, an experience, a moment we cannot return to that has passed. These still life scenes represent the spaces we construct around us as an extension of our identity. Drawing from the traditions of modernist painters such as Margaret Preston, and ukiyo-e woodblock prints, his works are an exploration of self-identity, a connection with the natural world, and an investigation into Australian and Japanese culture. Pitok works in a studio space at Monster Mouse Studios, an artist collective in Marrickville, Sydney.
