If YOUR doll could talk,
What would they say?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was tagged by ~PullipGirl~ ^__^
Me: "Ok, Asterisk, if you could talk what would you say?"
Asterisk: "Well, if I could talk I would say that- hey! Wait a minute! I CAN talk!" *gives me an annoyed look*
Me: "I know, but it's just for the photo, so just say how you're feeling." *pats her head* ^__^
Asterisk: "Well, I'm fairly new here, been here for almost a week actually! I'm really liking it here so far. I got a new, and better, body and I've made some really cool friends. Rikku and I get along the best I'd say. Celsiy is a little bundle of giddy energy and Zuora has been a really good mentor to me. Since she's been here for the longest everyone said she's the head-honcho! OH! And there's this wicked cute boy named Linde. *swoons* He's a little on the shy side, but he's super sweet! I think he has his eyes set on someone else though. Too bad. :/ All in all, it's been wonderful living here! Momma even said she ordered me a new wig, I hope it gets here soon! Now if only I could get her to get me some new dresses... >>"

Sophia Al-Maria: Taraxos
“ * - Every asterisk a star. Every star a clock. Every clock a chime. Every chime a warning. Waking a cell, then a seed, then the germ of a weed getting ready to flower. – Sophia Al-Maria
Sophia Al-Maria considers the dandelion an emblem of freedom and resistance, as each seed has the potential to become an agent of resilience and change. Inspired by the life cycle and geometry of the dandelion (taraxacum officinale), the sculpture taraxos is a model for understanding and listening to the world.
Taraxos is a meditative place for anyone to slow down time for themselves. Visitors can sit beneath and stand amongst a constellation of 12 metal achenes, which take the form of futuristic dandelion ‘seeds’, and listen to the sculpture. Activated by the wind, the sculpture can also be played by touching the stems which are covered in copper, a material selected for its antimicrobial qualities.
At the top of each achene the asterisk* appears as shorthand symbolising a dandelion seed’s bracts, below it is inscribed into the ground in reference to the navigational tool of a meteorological wind rose. The punctuation mark of the asterisk* is a motif in Al-Maria’s work which emerged from her screenwriting practice in which the asterisk indicates rewriting and revision. The central node of taraxos is a piece of reclaimed titanium from an airplane. This durable yet light material, ideal for air and space travel mirrors that of the seemingly fragile airborne dandelion seed.
The Serpentine x Modern Forms Sculpture Commission focuses on Serpentine’s immediate environment as a space for artists to engage with the landscape of the park.
Sophia Al-Maria was selected for this new public sculpture commission by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Melissa Blanchflower, Curator, Exhibitions and Public Art, Serpentine and Nick Hackworth, Director, Modern Forms.”

Though summer is long gone and the nights are getting cold, these little flowers refuse to give up. I like the way these blossoms are shaped like asterisks.

As part of the presentation, our good friend and distribution partner, David Duffett, helped us demonstrate the applications by acting the part of an elderly resident with dementia.
Dexter Sinister submitted this image for Stickball to print as a limited edition silkscreen for our fall fundraiser.
The asterisk graphic is taken from a poster originally printed at the Visible Language Workshop at MIT in 1976 by Muriel Cooper.
The edition size is 35 and was printed on Arches 88 archival paper.
