Fortune

Pat Keck uses motion in the literal and figurative sense. In this piece, he has included a motorized spinning top on the table which turns the woman in circles. With her arms and legs spread wide, it is as if she is trying to keep her balance on top of the table. The circles painted on the sides of the table also symbolize the motion of spinning in circles because of the rotation of the yellow design inside each consecutive white circle. I also really enjoy this piece because of the colors used.
