In this powerful work derived from the I Am series, Nigel Brown artfully stacks the words Joy, Happiness, Luck against a backdrop of Pahia Hill. Once again we see the influence of Colin McCahon, who taught Brown during the time he attended Elam School of Art (1968 - 1971). Painted whilst the artist was living at Cosy Nook, Southland the work was inspired by Chinese good luck tokens seen during a visit to the home of a friend.
