Lucky
These works conceptualize the luck that surrounds us and visualizes the unseeable with a sense of humor. In exploring luck and its many manifestations of either good or bad; or how it can occur beyond one's control, without regard to one's will, intention or desire, a chaos and randomness of the daily is exposed. These works are lyrical, associative, and made on the premises that everyday we are presented with lucky moments, some major and other minor, whether we choose to employ (use) this luck or not is how receptive we are to the gifts we are given.
The chances of each of us coming into existence are infinitesimally small, and even though we shall all die some day, we should count ourselves fantastically lucky to get our decades in the sun. Richard Dawkins
If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. Maya Angelou
You've got to think lucky. If you fall into a mudhole, check your back pocket - you might have caught a fish. Darrell Royal
