Heart of the Man
2019, Commissioned by the Man Crewe
Glazed high fire ceramic with blessings
17” X 9” X 8”
Three hollow ceramic “eggs” were produced to be the heart of the Burning Man in 2019. Each piece had a design in it, in raw, unglazed clay; this was designed to absorb smoke to make the design appear. Before they were installed on the Man, Burning Man staff and crew did a ritual where they filled the eggs with their benedictions for the future. Since it was unclear if they would survive the fall into the inferno, it was a surprise to find some potshards after the fire.
