About the Maker(s)
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.
