AN EXHIBITION of COASTAL WELL WISHES
FOR A MORE PROMISING TOMORROW


“Good Luck” & “Good Luck, Again” are collections by Scott Patt that explore 
self-determination within the physical and spiritual characteristics of luck and it’s relationship to ideologies in contemporary culture.

Luck has long been used to justify fortunes both good and bad, explain the unexplainable, accept that which is unchangeable and rationalize what is deserved. “Good Luck” & “Good Luck, Again” imagine a life relegated to nothing but chance: the uncontrollable, relentless and unbiased eye of fate as the decider.  The exhibitions were created as modern shrines to hope, congregated by personalized objects of reverence, symbol and satire.

“Good Luck” & “Good Luck, Again” reflect deeply on Scott’s early life in Pennsylvania. 
Traditional Pennsylvania German Hex signs used to ward off evil and bring good luck are hybridized into new paintings and sculptures with his own symbology in adoration of surfing, it’s culture and the eastern shores. As well, common items from his Pennsylvania youth like cutting boards and paddles have been re-appropriated as canvases and further steeped in meaning carrying the message of good luck as it relates to religious, sexual and political imagery. Scott further explores the connotations of luck and it’s relationship to fate and sacrifice through
his lucky rabbit's foot sculpture series.
