Dead Mari

Here is the story of Mari. It is good to have a story with a piece of art...

She was creative and funny, with a wicked New York City sense of deliciously sarcastic humor,
an astounding skill for astrology powered by an affinity for channeling and a deep spiritual connection that
might seem impossible to reconcile in someone other than Mari.

She was of Italian descent and whenever we were out together, I was amazed by the spell she cast over men and women alike. She was so tall! So solidly confident! I was furious with her for taking her life, mad because there were things
I wanted to tell her, things we shared and laughter that danced around us when we talked about even the most grim of things! She loved to play solitaire on the computer and had once owned a bookstore.
She lived in Taos and had a dress shop in the corner of the square that was full of sheer fabric and silk thingy-dos.

Her favorite color was beige, she smoked and her fast little red car was always saturated in Benson & Hedges
residue and littered with potato chip bags. She did sweet things to surprise you but if you crossed her,
she shunned you for awhile... then shaking a finger in your face with a look that skewered you onto the
wall of the present, noted that you might not have your priorities straight because
they were different than hers! Hah! Then later, it was all OK.
Mari changed her name from Lynn to Mari and Mari was better.

She was haunted by something fierce, deep and sharp, but many of us loved her
dearly and felt blessed by her life, including me. Thanks Mari...

This doll was created with wire, paper clay, fabric, stuffing, gauze, Kreninik Metallic threads and the arms
of a dollar store Barbie that are tied behind her back. She is 16" tall and 2 1/2" wide.

Price: $225.00
