PSBA and the Collins Library invite you to join artist and bookmaker Gabby Cooksey as she delves into the curious world behind her two-volume creation, Tarot for the Misguided.
Time is a slippery beast when chasing the origins of tarot—full of truths, tall tales, and tangled timelines. In this playful and illuminating artist talk, Gabby unpacks the mysteries, missteps, and magic that shaped her unique tarot deck, populated not by people but by curious and captivating animals.
Part history, part art, part mischief—this talk is perfect for tarot enthusiasts, art lovers, and anyone who enjoys a good story told beautifully. Come explore the creative journey behind the cards, and maybe even get a little misguided (in the best possible way).
Gabby Cooksey is a bookbinder and book artist in Tacoma, WA. She has been binding for 14 years and loves to help puzzle out boxes for books. Her work can be found at institutions including the Library of Congress, Smithsonian, and University of Puget Sound.
Light refreshments, short tarot readings, and a chance to win a copy of Gabby’s tarot cards will follow her talk.
