Environmental Site Works - Night Fire Swim
     

Night Fire Swim Temporary interactive sculpture, Skowhegan Maine. A 10' wall of white bubbles under water erupting into 2'3' flames above the lake surface. The viewer/participants swam out to the arcing flame pattern in the dark water. Under the surface, when they passed (swam) through the white wall of bubbles, the sound was like breaking icicles as they looked up to see the fire burning over their heads. The viewer/ participants then, being wet, could approach the flame without fear of being burnt. They could pass their arms through the bubbles allowing the flame to crawl over the arm without being burnt. Then they learned to control the fire patterns by manipulating the bubbles' direction under the surface of the water.
