The University of Miami presents Take The Good With The Bad, A Master of Fine Arts exhibition by Dennis Loucks. Loucks states, “As humans have learned, some paths we choose for ourselves, other paths are chosen for us, and most paths are combination of the two. Periodically, random events will occur in our lives that interrupt our plans and goals. As the Burns poem says, “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” We have to accept the unchangeable facts of our lives, adjust what we can and continue on. This is why a broken ceramic piece can be an opportunity rather than a failure.”
