PATRONS PROJECT 34.01 // AMY HASTINGS // THE LOVERS // SOFT CENTRE IMPERIAL STOUT Northern Monk

One of the intriguing aspects of tarot is the juxtaposition of cards’ appearances and their range of interpretations – not everything is as it originally seems. We wanted to recreate this contrast of darkness and light by pairing Amy’s bright, bold, and colourful artwork with an inky, ominously dark Imperial Stout.

Continuing along the Lovers’ theme, taking inspiration from Valentines chocolate boxes presented the opportunity for further contrast – recreating the sensation of bright, sweet, red-fruit soft centres glimmering through the cracks in dark, bittersweet chocolate.
