We are finally able to fully build after years of dreaming! We are grateful recipients of Honoraria grant from Burning Man in 2020, and now able to bring the full installation in 2022.
Please join our effort by contributing financially as we cannot make this on our own, or creatively, as your expression brings much more impact. We seek book submissions for 2D art and personal stories of your experience with the element of FIRE.

Description:
The FIRE Installation will appear as a grove of fire ravaged Manzanita trees in stark contrast to the white canvas of the Black Rock Desert. Each tree stands as a unique sculpture, an individual entity, made more beautiful by its initial struggle for sun, the resistance to gravity, and ultimately the sculpting by blazing wildfire heat.
The installation poses questions regarding humanities ongoing relationship to the element of fire. Is FIRE friend or foe; teacher, healer, provider or malevolent force? Accompanying the grove an interactive altar provides a space for 2D art and written word responses to the questions.
Perks
Artist Karine Mallet has spent many hours creating these beautiful lanterns. You will be able to choose one from the installation or she will make you a custom one to meet your wants and needs. Many of them lend themselves to sit on flat surface as well as hanging.
We would love to find passionate supporters to help with our transportation costs. We are looking for a trailer to purchase as this project is getting much bigger than the back of the pick up truck. Our dream is to be invited to bring this community education project to many locations and buying or renting a trailer is the only option for sustainable travel.
We will create a custom lamp that will fit your space and needs. We will combine resin hardened Fire ravaged Manzanita with one of the chrysalis lanterns, mounted on a sleek steel base. You can choose any lantern in the installation or we can custom design one based on what shapes speak to you.
A collection of 2D submissions from photography, to personal story, or science writing, all on the subject of FIRE
