The impression that it gave to one of the observers, “There are so many beautiful individual images on the canvas panels it is amazing. It is like hundreds of paintings stretched over the 3-d frame creating a totally encompassing visual experience.”

Right There, our designer, movie auteur and carpenter extraordinaire has built 2 pyramids to house the exterior lights.

The final addition to the Way Place is the flooring. A circle (10′ in diameter) made of burlap has been painted black. On to the burlap, an assortment of random-shaped, cream-colored carpet pieces are laid out to look like a sandstone terrace.

The Way Place was dismantled yesterday and is packed up and ready to be placed on the truck. On Friday, August 27th, it will start its journey to Black Rock City. We don’t know where are are going to be placed on the Playa. But when you find us, we’ll be happy to see you.

A last minute dinner arrival was Trickster who know stands regally on the stone patio.

Fresh off the Playa, the Fleur Lumiere made its first appearance in this world at Robin’s studio show at 2016 Sunset.
