"Behind the 8 Ball"When someone is in a bad situation, or in a losing position, this is the phrase that comes to mind. The phrase comes from pool (or billiards). When the cue (white) ball is behind the eight (black) ball, a player usually has no shot.
That's all. I thought this would make a good art piece.
Vintage Japanese porcelain jewelry display hand found at the flea market and
a well used eight ball are the focus. A pair of black dice and 2 crystal stars
finish the piece.
The box is a mid century gentleman's valet case with the original velvet lining intact.
The back is collaged in a poster found in Pt. Reyes Station CA, that reads: "Face to Face Laugh Now Laugh Later". The poster was over-covered in gold acrylic paint and sealed with a varnish finish.
I think it turned out very cool.
What do you think?
