I enjoyed seeing the heart on the playa, and watching it come into being from across the street. I'm a tad too large and inflexible to climb through it, but it looked awesome.

I also want to shout out a big Thank You to the beautiful burners at Love Potion Camp! I couldn't have gotten the pub up without you.

Big Furry Hugs!

you are all welcome, i am glad you enjoyed it!

the main purpose of the heart was as an intention of personal growth, me, opening my heart and welcoming people into it. well, and having people come in. :-)

tiahaar- originally it was intended to be crawled and climbed all the way through. we ran out of time to make the top tubes secure enough. i know of a few skinny people that snuck up it, and i am glad, but very happy it was only 1 person at a time! very happy that you enjoyed it day & night.

m@r+y- yes, the grips did for a brief time amplify the person’s heartbeat into the heart, and it triggered lighting effects. as with many things on the playa, things broke or didn’t work out properly. some nights it lit, some it didn’t. :-( the letting go was an important lesson to have learned.
one fantastic thing that happened as a result of the sound not working was when people would “play” the heart itself, drumming on the sides making the heart truly come to life thanks to the people inside (and outside) of it.

ludo- the hardest working man! you were a fantastic neighbor and i look forward to keeping in touch! you have a beautiful energy.

thank you all for your responses and pictures. i welcome more!

Bummer.....saw it a lot as I was at 2:30.

Appreciation to all artists who create the interactive love on the playa.

There are a lot of repeated shapes in BRC. One is a red heart. It was cool to have an anatomy heart out there to fit in with those other blinky red hearts.....nice balance!

thank you all for your great words, and for the fantastic stores and pictures that have been shared.
i will respond more when i catch up (i swear it!) but i am truly appreciating hearing from you all!

and yes, this was a first installation, first art for me ever actually. 1 powerful idea, a fantastic right hand bill'der man who figured out most of this on the fly, and dozens and dozens of volunteer helping hands to help build my vision and teach me so many lessons.

i will soon also put up a link of my pictoral summary of the whole process, in case anyone is interested!
