My Luck for Your Two Cents

My Luck for your Two Cents, 2008, Doilies and my lucky pennies

For this performance, I sold each of these handmade doilies for two cents and a piece of advice written on a Post-It note. I played the role of a melodramatic version of my artist mascot self, and I sat with an explanatory sign and a cup to collect my new pennies. Each viewer chose the doily that they wanted and placed their piece of advice next to it after dropping two cents into the cup. I sold almost all of my luck during the opening of the exhibition.
