SHOW TITLE: BAD LUCK FOR A LONG TIME EMPHASIS: SCULPTURE ALLISONWINTERS.STUDIO@GMAIL.COM There is an admirable beauty in the ability and contentment of some to find peace and comfort in the simple act of prayer or other expressions of faith. I have found that I lack this ability and have then adopted other means of finding much needed solace and security for myself. In the face of what I have perceived to be an enduring spell of bad luck, I have evolved and adapted— for my own self-preservation— in ways that to the outside observer may seem contrary to the belief system in which I was raised. Though I feel no conflicts myself, I can sense the disapproval of my community that these evolutions have placed on me as I choose to continue my pursuit. These pieces reflect my alternative methods of living. They are repre- sentations of what a hurting and questioning mind and soul find and cling to in unfortunate circumstances; they are tokens of where I have gone in order to find strength and peace.
