  • The San Francisco, California,-based Flaming Lotus Girls is a collaborative art group that creates large-scale fire art. The group was founded in 2000 by a group of artists working on a sculpture for the Burning Man arts festival in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. They take their name from their first sculpture, Flaming Lotus. Their work is notable for being interactive and kinetic. Their pieces are composed primarily of steel, stainless steel, copper, glass, wood, and light, with flames ranging from a 2-inch (51 mm) flicker to a 150-foot (46 m) blaze. One distinctive element is that this is a female driven group. A core mission of the group is to help women learn how to use their hands and tools to build sculpture. While they invite both women and men, from expert to novice, to collaborate, all must consider themselves "girls". Any member who regularly attends meetings can have input in designing, building, operating and playing with the large-scale work that is created. This type of leadership has been coined a Do-ocracy. In short, if one wants to see something happen they take the initiative to do it.
