Who is Lady Luck?



Me, that's who.

I spent the afternoon lasercutting these little things. I am going to place them in various locations: the green clovers will be placed anywhere at all around the city. The circles will be left in places where 'luck' plays a large role (betting, job centres, hospitals etc). The wooden clovers will be placed in the generic areas AND those which require luck.
It is my aim to investigate whether the form of an object has any influence on how people react to/with it in terms of how they are or can become objects of luck. The green clover for example is a universal symbol of luck and hence it should not matter where it is placed, its meaning should in theory remain the same. The plain circle however has no predetermined characteristic of luck affiliated with it, yet by leaving it in a place where good luck is required, or where good luck may arise, this characteristic may become attached to the object in a far more personal and subjective way.
