Firefly 2015
Once again, interesting and lovely art put up in the forest. I'm always impressed by how much peopl are willing to haul in.
Beautiful handmade bug lanterns that light up at night and are picked up and recharged every day.
Dryer camp. For all of those times it rains like crazy and you just want a piece of clothing that's dry and warm.
I wish I could've taken a picture of this installation, but couldn't because of the rules. But it was a bunch of names written on plexiglas connected by string. It was so pretty.
A miniature art museum.
99 bottles of beer on the wall. And yes they sang and passed them around.
UBS messengers, delivering messages from your higher self.
This spun in concentric circles. It was stunning.
The installation made for the temple burn.
One of the rules of this festival is that you have to send in an artifact with your registration form. It's then shown in a little gallery at the festival.
These paper flowers were burned one by one at the end of the festival.
Midnight Poutine's huge poutine for the camp on the last day.
Temple burn.
And this caterpillar was so beautiful. I thought it would make a good art car.
As for my installation, in reminiscence of
, the giant van with all my stuff got stuck immediately upon entry, and we had to spend a couple hours digging it out, with a bunch of guys from the DPW, which resulted in one broken truck axel, and the eventual extraction of the van. Welcome back to Firefly...
After that, we hauled in my installation to the site. (It's such a hardcore site to haul in) And then I proceeded to very slowly set up my
dome for the rest of the day.
I almost wanted to just leave them like that, without an inner tent at all...
But, as it rains so much, it's just not functional without rain proofing.
And installed! More images of the completed project to come!
