STAR SEED! : a view of the sculpture over head, looking up to the base of the sky pod 21 feet in the air. ✨✨✨I had this mad vision to design a sculpture that looked like a microscopic seed that rose out of it’s dusty roots in the playa... it would gather us in and then blast off and pollinate the solar system with all our good intentions 💫The Idea behind this sculpture at Burning Man was inspired by the 2012 theme “Fertility 2.0”. I was thinking of @burningman culture, the people and ethos and art , all symbolized as creative seeds that would pollinate the world —and make it better. ✨and I’m happy to say - I think we’re doing it 🤟😎🤟Burning Man has radically changed my life ( and countless other’s) and challenged and expanded my world in ways I could have never imagined. I’m so excited for the theme this year “Metamorphosis!”🔥 🔥 🔥swipe left 👈...for some rad pictures rarely seen of this sculpture by the awesome @treyratcliff (thanks Trey!👌) and then a photo of Star Seed at the @edc_lasvegas festival - 🎆where you can see we upgraded the top most LED lights to twinkle by adding Arduino programming✨ 🔥 🔥 #starseed #kateraudenbush #burningman #burningman2012 #edc #burningmanart #arduino #steelsculpture #metalsculpture #contemporaryart #womenwhoweld #womenartists #americanart #led #metamorphosis #pollinate #hdrphotography #lasvegas #edclasvegas #bethechange

The hourglass inside the altar of my sculpture Future’s Past. ⌛️Representing the present moment inside a symbolic sculpture that screams: the time for action to create a sustainable future is right NOW. ⏱Time is ticking. Did you read the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ? It’s all over the NY times today and here : www.ipcc.ch/report/sr15/ ..Look it up. And vote for political candidates that give a damn about upholding and creating policies that protect our planet’s heath (and therefore, ours), Instead of supporting greedy exploitative businesses that rape the earth ( but donate to their political campaigns). Our Future’s Past is now! ⏱ ⏱ #artasactivism #futurespast #kateraudenbush #renwickgallery #saam #climatechange #votethemout #creativeactivism #timesup #now #sustainability #nospectators #americanart #ContemporaryArt #publicart #metalsculpture #hourglass #vote
