The Luck of the Draw – All or Nothing – 2024

Precast bisque doll’s arm, small yellow ball, rubber ring, two-sided printed diminutive playing card. H10.5 x W8 x D21.5 cm

A juvenile arm holds a two-sided playing card. The face value of each is different, offering two distinct readings. Seen from one side the held card is different from the alternate view on the other. “Taking one’s chances” in life offers a variety of permutations. Here only two possibilities exist. The arm terminates with a planet circled by an orbiting halo.
