Serpent Mother Takes Over Treasure Island!
Saturday March 7th Free Art Reception 7PM-midnight


The Flaming Lotus Girls transform Treasure Island into a reptilian wilderness with their first ever public installation of their interactive, kinetic sculpture, a magnificent installation of a 168' skeletal stainless steel snake.

Serpent Mother will rear her giant head on the Island for the weekend of Friday and Saturday, March 6th and 7th 2009. On Friday March 6th, the Serpent commands the floor at an all-night party hosted by Opulent Temple and featuring the world-famous DJ Carl Cox. On Saturday March 7th, the Serpent will light up the Bay in a fun and free art exhibition from 7.00PM-midnight.

Come see for yourself: there has never been a sculpture like the Serpent Mother. Her 168' long stainless steel spine coils around the massive space, while her 20' long neck and massive head tower over her audience. The audience takes control, however, by directing her movement, raising her hydraulically-actuated neck and opening her fanged mouth. Full audience participation makes each installation a singular experience - come make it happen.

About The Flaming Lotus Girls
The Flaming Lotus Girls are a female-driven group of artists making kinetic, mechanical fire art. Our mission is to create monumental works of interactive art through a collaborative process. Our vision is to empower women to learn new skills and become experienced, talented and active artists in their own right. We premiere our work at Burning Man and bring the pieces to a civic audience afterwards.

Our work � a combination of sculptural arts, kinetics, robotics, electronics, and fire engineering - is designed collaboratively; made collaboratively. We create interactive large-scale fire installations that engages viewers and invite them to become part of the art.

For over 9 years, the Flaming Lotus Girls have presented installations nationally and internationally. Our portfolio includes:

Mutopia - A massive, intricate, spiraling installation of 11 sculptural Seedpods created from aluminum, steel, copper and stainless steel.

Serpent Mother � A Skeletal serpent, coiled around her egg.

Angel of the Apocalypse - A sculptural environment that emerges from the ground in the form of an abstracted, fiery bird.

Hand of God - A Copper sculpture of a woman's hand that emits epic bursts of 100' tall flames.

Seven Sisters - Seven interactive fire sculptures inspired by the Pleiades constellation.
