Flaming Lotus Girls
The Flaming Lotus Girls are a female-driven, volunteer-based group of artists who have been making kinetic, mechanical fire art since 2000. Our work stands at the intersection of sculpture, engineering, pyrotechnics, and electronic technology. We create interactive large-scale fire installations through a collaborative process that empowers participants to learn new skills and become experienced, talented and active artists. We use a unique design methodology with a hyper-fluid organizational structure. Through an open and supportive cultural environment, the Flaming Lotus Girls promote creativity, education, volunteer contribution and leadership opportunities.
