Description
Installation Art on Octavia Blvd, San Francisco until June 10, 2010.
First displayed at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada in 2007. Ecstasy is on the eight monumental
metal figures of the artists' masterpiece, Crude Awakening. In Crude Awakening, these eight figures surrounded a 99 foot tall wooden oil derrick in gestures of prostration,worship and exaltation. The figures represented the "The Faithful; the religious peoples of the world in their various postures of worship, all joining together in homage of the ominous symbol of the oil derrick. The installation cultimaeted in a massive firework and fire display, and in the burning of the oil derrick. It was the biggest and most memorable burn to day at the Burning Man event.
Alone, Ecstasy embarks on a hopeful journey instead of throwing her head back in reverie to the oil derrick, she gazed wistfully in the open sky as she steps forward in the future. Her name expresses a sudden change of the attitude and belief in hope; an moment of begin overcome by passionate optimism in the future beyond our cultures dependency on fossil fuel.
