The lottery isn’t something people think deeply about. It’s an attraction to those who want maximum reward with minimum cost. Some people see it as a lifestyle and others see it as a poor scheme. Without going into a cerebral headache about what the lottery represents or what it means I’ll simply note that the idea and name of “Lady Luck” was brought about by beliefs in ancient goddesses of luck such as Fortuna and Tyche. These particular works are made with second-hand losing lottery tickets. Perhaps they, and “we,” get another chance in some way? These are discarded items repurposed and the main concept is simply “money” but instead of winning the jackpot the means here to do with it are of a careful attention to placement of color and shape.

Beyond the concept of ‘Lady Luck’ there are an abundant amount of symbols to do with chance and hope that I’ve explored with the medium.
