"The Fool was my first fully thought out conceptual artwork. For my folio, I wanted to look at redesigning a tarot card from the Major Arcana with my own interpretation of the symbolism within it and what the card represents. I chose to redesign The Fool as I felt most confident with its meaning, and knew I could come up with a good concept. Depicted in my painting is a Pierrot clown, from the commedia dell’arte; an early form of theatre popular in Europe between the 16th and 18th century."
