Duel Nature by Kate
Raudenbush. Our friend Brenda knows Kate and helped
assemble the sculpture on-site the week before Burning Man's opening.
Not only was Duel Nature one of just 35 pieces given an
art grant this year, it was selected
for
the most
visible
location:
keyhole at Center Camp. The sculpture weighed about 3 tons, was
based on the human DNA strand, had red LEDs at the ends of each wing
segment (of which there were 240), was metal outside and mirrored
red plexiglass inside, had a fire cauldron in the center, and
contrary to what many people thought (they asked), it didn't move.
Twist (Kevin) and I volunteered to be fire guardians Tuesday night
from
7-10pm,
and
unfortunely
it
was
windy
and playa-dusty. Ah well…
