Tyler Hodgins: Please Try Again
Tyler Hodgins: Please Try Again
until June 21, 2009
If someone said “please try again” would you consider it a gentle let down or an invitation for compulsive behaviour? Victoria-based artist Tyler Hodgins will have you exercise these thoughts and more this spring with his exhibition, Please Try Again. Using discarded instant crossword puzzle lottery tickets, Hodgins recreates a life-size array of lines, letters and words to fill one gallery wall. The resulting display evokes a sense of conviction for the positive and negative outcomes of lottery playing, not to mention themes of habit and chance.
