The Seven Sisters — 2004
About
This interactive fire sculpture was inspired by the constellation Pleiades. The installation is composed of seven sculptures, some rising from the ground, some hovering 20 feet in the air. Each individual piece is complete unto itself; but together as the entire installation, the combined effect is dazzling and spellbinding. Three of the stars are spherical in shape and spin, while three take organic seven-pointed star shapes. Every piece includes both an ambient flame and a unique flame effect. Electra, the central element has a large spinning liquid fuel effect. An electric motor spins the nozzles creating angled plumes that form a spinning crown of fire 100’ tall.
A Merope rebuild was completed in 2012 and features CNC plasma-cut stainless steel sides.
Effects
