The installation is an enclosed room, approximately 16 by 16 feeet and 14 feet high, taking its general visual cues from both a fortune-teller's tent and a masoleum Invert, Oracle by David Cannon Dashiell (San Francisco, Ethan J. Walker, 1989) represents a facsimile of the installation which the artist had constructed to represent his autobiography, using the structure of the Tarot cards. After four color plates which allow the reader to "see" the installation and its progression, the artist/author then uses the structure of the Tarot Cards to indicate meaning, its reverse, and then relate some part of his life in reference to the symbol. There is no linear arrangement for Gs autobiography, so that the symbols trigger memories, rather than chronological sequence. It is a brilliant way to tell the story of a life. The color plates are clear, clean and well designed, evocative of a place, a feeling, a relationship.
