Flaming Lotus Angel of the Apocolypse

As with other sculptures by the Flaming Lotus Girls, this giant bird encircles its participants rather than standing apart as a spectacle to be viewed from the outside. It is interactive and generative, responsive and dynamic. “The Angel of the Apocalypse is an elegant sculptural environment that rises from the ground in the form of an abstracted bird. The Angel is made from shaped and welded stainless and mild steel, driftwood and fuel.The Angel’s head and wings are alive with fire, whose dynamic effects are controlled by the people inside the body space of the installation. The warm, bright enclosure is an environment inviting celebration of life and community.” (Source: Flaming Lotus and Images via Caroline Miller, Anne Rey and Time Lapse Angel by Bob Hsaio)
