Narrative Collage (Ciara Donovan)

When conceptualizing my narrative collage, I was at a particular point in my life at which everything felt out of wack. I didn't know how to verbalize what was happening to me besides saying that I think my luck had finally run out. To depict this strange feeling, I distorted a checkerboard to represent the absence of order in my life where it once was. Furthermore, to express the feeling of my luck slipping away from me, I included three lucky heads-up pennies in various degrees of intactness. Finally, I couldn't figure out how to say that my luck had run out than to just declare it on the painting.
