What a night!
British sculptors Diane Gorvin and Phil Bews built an installation of large paper lantens in the shape of fish, and a 45'-long wooden "fireship" sculpture on the banks of the Mississippi River on Lake Pepin. The sculpture was burned in a celebratory fire at dusk on the evening of Saturday, September 22, 2007. More than 1,200 people enjoyed live music, handmade lanterns, performances by fire dancers, a procession of fire-shapes along the shore, and the burn of the sculpture itself.
The event was the culmination of months of planning and preparation, including; community lantern-making workshops, artist talks, an exhibit of Gorvin and Bews' past fire projects, and two weeks' of intense building at our site on the banks of the Mississippi River on Lake Pepin.
Heartfelt thanks to the many donors and volunteers who helped to make this an exciting and beautiful event!
