Since the PreHeat regional burn in April I’ve been working out my concept of fire art. What makes fire art vs the tools for creating fire. For example a single naked flame effect I don’t see as art. Art is the way that the flame effect is placed and how it is used. More specifically think of a burn barrel, compare that to what has been created on Ocean Beach or used as part of the Flaming Lotus Girls’ Angel of the Apocalypse.
I miss the vibrant fire art that existed on the west coast. So much so that I am in the beginning stages of organizing a fire arts expo here in St. Petersburg, using the Crucible’s event as a model. If you would like to participate or volunteer let me know…
I’m off to make phone calls to find a location and then get started on creating art with fire.
