Flaming Lotus Girls

Flaming Lotus Girls is a volunteer-based group of artists who make large-scale kinetic fire art.

[12] The sculpture was displayed at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco in 2016 as part of an event promoting a Flaming Lotus Girls photo calendar.

[11] Xylophage is a giant sculptural fungi featuring sound, light and fire, sprouting from the remains of an enormous tree.

[14] The planning and construction of the sculpture involved building large trusses out of pipes that carry propane, linked with 140 joints.

[14] Soma is a stainless steel neuron that illustrates flowing electricity through crowd-controlled LED light patterns that shoot along its dendrites and axon.

[16] In 2016 it moved to Vallejo, California as a public art installation for two years, as part of an effort to draw visitors to the city's downtown and waterfront areas.

[20] This sculpture, originally built of steel, driftwood and fire systems, rises from the earth in the form of an abstracted bird.

The Angel's wings burn continuously with ambient flame, and each feather features audience-controlled "poofer" fire effects.

Its head, formed from curved steel plate and featuring hand-blown glass eyes, stands 20 feet (6.1 m) tall and functions as a wood-burning fireplace.

Pouneh Mortazavi, Rebecca Anders, Rosa Anna DeFilippis, Caroline Miller, Charlie Gadeken and James Stauffer were the Flaming Lotus Girls members interviewed for the film.
