Climb the Ladder – Archival Art Print

An archival fine art print based on paintings from from [The Luckier] Series, for a solo exhibition in 2018.

THE STORY

An apricot grove or field of apricots can be a symbol for success in the imperial
examination system, as the very first celebration honouring successful candidates allegedly took place in an apricot grove.

Here, an Apricot guardian brings a ladder to help with watering some lofty ambitions.

THE COLLECTION

[The Luckier] is a visual exploration of the liminal space we often retreat into when in a state of indecision.  
 
Drawing upon the fear and uncertainty that we deal with in the face of success, feelings of displacement are emphasised by creating characters using Chinese fortune symbology, which can be viewed as a guide or a symptom of stress, or both.  
 
[The Luckier] refers to a kind of ideal self. One who does not doubt opportunity, indulge in self sabotage, or allow the absurdity of an ideal to ruin the pursuit of it.
