Insomnia- Wheel of Fortune

This piece is called Insomnia. I don’t normally name things nor do I normally give much explanation to items I make. This piece has a bit to do with Stephen King’s book, Insomnia. I do have insomnia and I’m not sure if it is because I don’t want the day to end, it is because I haven’t done everything I wanted to do, or exactly the main reason for this state.Anyway, this piece has the Wheel Of Fortune and the three beings that control it. I used da Vinci images because I just love them.
Clothos is the weaver and is young. Sorry about the reflection.
Lachesis is the measurer and is usually middle aged.
Atropos is the cutter and is usually elderly.

This wheel signifies changes in fortune and in life.

Thanks for looking!

  4. Sam, this is awesome. I have been fascinated with the Fates ever since I read the series "Incarnations of Immortality" by Piers Anthony (must be about 20 years ago now.) I love your Wheel of Fortune take on this. It's absolutely beautiful...a piece of art to be treasured. It really is a pleasure to look at your work.
