About this artwork

The word asterisk, I have read, originates from Greek and is supposed to mean a little star. It is also what the symbol visually resembles. Asterisk as a symbol: (*)… a six-pointed star.
I especially note two of the symbol’s uses.
Within software and programming, the asterisk symbol is used as a placeholder, a character that can be replaced with a yet-unknown value. A kind of wildcard… I would like to be considered for a wildcard in the world of… visual arts… on the shelf for the new, the promising…
Another use of the symbol is when it is used in a text to indicate that there is a footnote. Ending up as a footnote is not the most optimal… because it means that one is written out of the text itself.
Transferring it to the world of art and my work as a visual artist… that is probably my lot: Despite the fact that visual art has been my focal point for almost 40 years, for better or for worse, my experience is not that I am a part of the text.
