If you've heard the stories, of if you've seen her glory in the past, this
is an excellent opportunity to get out and see the magnificent Serpent
Mother.  It's a very rare exhibit, so it would be difficult to say when the
opportunity could come again.

Serpent Mother Art Opening On Treasure Island
Saturday March 7th Free Art Reception 7PM-midnight

Join us for a special art exhibition of the Serpent Mother, on Treasure
Island, Saturday, March 7, 2009 from 7 p.m. until midnight.

There has never been a sculpture like the Serpent Mother. The warmth of her
embrace and her coiling design create an atmospheric space in which over a
thousand people can stand. Her 168' long stainless steel spine coils around
the massive space, while her 20' long neck and 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.

This magnificent installation of a 168' skeletal stainless steel snake will
be on display Saturday March 7th, on Treasure Island. We will open the
Serpent for a gallery opening from 7 pm until midnight. We hope you will
join us for this fun and free gallery reception.

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.
