Description

A unique fortune-telling method using the juxtaposition of fruits and vegetables with various household objects. An artichoke on a chair signals the secret troubles of success and honor. A cabbage and a half-eaten petit fours warns of bad tidings and treachery. Martine Syms’s text echoes the vague wisdom of many a dream dictionary or omen encyclopedia, complete with numbered cross-references. Denise Schatz’s photographs provide examples of such auspicious interactions so you can look for everyday omens in your life.
