Installation Update

Update #9 · Dec 20, 2011 · 1 comment

The Portrait of Wildfire installation closed on Dec. 16 in Lubbock, TX at the National Ranching Heritage Center. 

Many of the crayons and wax melded together while outside and created some very unique, sculptural forms. We are working with these pieces with the intent to make souvenir pieces from the installation. Images and information will be posted on this as soon as it is available.

There are plans for the sculptures to be installed in another location; we will make sure that information is available as soon as the details are confirmed. Thank you for your support of this installation! We look forward to seeing where they will go next and sharing how the sculptures will react in a new location.

Our intent is to host other installation art projects that raise awareness of environmental concerns at the National Ranching Heritage Center. If this is something you would like to see more of, we would appreciate hearing your comments and reactions to Portrait of Wildfire.

      What a terrific installation piece! An interesting concept about an important issue that yielded a beautiful piece of art. What can be better than that?
