Whirld

by: Steel Love
year: 2013

Whirld – The second kinetic piece from Jeff Howe and Ruby Bettencourt; Whirld is derived from symbols that represented the cycles of life in a variety of ancient and contemporary cultures, this steel 8' diameter sculpture represents a Burners Whirld View. While at rest the piece will radiate a glow from the solar powered internal LED lighting but the adventurous Burners will want to step up and help give that world a whirl by turning the handle. In motion, shadows from the from sun will dance on the surface of the Playa, and by night the lights inside the spinning plasma cut steel vortex will mesmerize nearby pARTicipants.
