INVERT ORACLE was conceived 1987 as an installation consisting of paintings, drawings and texts. 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. A brilliant
expose of a life

1952–1993

David Cannon Dashiell was born on July 4, 1952, in Tokyo, Japan. His parents were Samuel Dashiell and Dorothy Cannon; he was the grandson of author Dashiell Hammett. Dashiell's father was a Cartographer for the United States government and lived, primarily, in South East Asia from the American occupation after the Second World War until the height of the Vietnam War. Dashiell thus spent his childhood abroad until he was returned to the United States in 1968 because his father felt that East Asia was becoming dangerous for non-military Americans. He spent the next several years moving from state to state before finishing his high school years in Florida.
