omething magical happens when we roll the dice for the first time
as a child. We watch the game unfold and come to realize that its
outcome may well be
determined
by the numbers we produce with the roll of the dice. Such power
the dice wield... the power to determine future actions!
Is it the childhood memories? Is it an appreciation of geometric
perfection? Or perhaps it is the lure of probability... the simple
complexity of numbers in motion...
Whatever
the reason, there's something strangely inspiring about the random
tumblings of a pair of dice. Painters, scupters, writers, musicians,
and other artists have been paying tribute to the "Galloping
Dominoes" since the dawn of time.
This gallery displays a number of links to dice-related artistic
endeavors.
