2018 Art Search for "Stardust"

Stardust

by: Paige Tashner
from: Point Richmond, CA
year: 2018

Stardust’s overall look is ethereal and otherworldly.

By night, playa travelers will be drawn to a glowing, low-lying mystery disc. As they venture closer they’ll see that the disc is actually a flying saucer – and a comfy bench!

A Galactic Tube embellished with illuminated celestial bodies extends up from the bench’s center. Cosmic Rays splay up and out of the tube, dripping end glow fiber optic cables, creating “stardust” overhead, slowly swaying.

The soft sound of hidden wind chimes further enhances the twinkling “stardust” effect. Just waiting for discovery are hidden-in-plain-sight buttons that trigger shooting star effects.

By day, the gentle sway of the Cosmic Rays and the soothing sound of the wind chimes continue to quiet the mind.
