My good friend Glenda took me to AZ 88 for for drinks to celebrate my birthday. If you will recall, AZ 88 is that hip restaurant in Scottsdale that always has the changing art exhibits. This time they had something that originated at the infamous Burning Man event. When we arrived around 5:30, it was still light outside and you could see these great photos on the wall but, when you look at the reflection in the mirror (to the left), they were covered with fire.
As the evening progressed and sun was going down, the fire started to show up on the photos on the wall. The photos were taken by Bill Tonnesen an artist whose work I've featured here before. He took the photos at the Burning Man event where he invited people to crawl into a box he made and pose for him. You might also notice the hefty lady sitting on the pedestal in the center. She is also a Bill Tonnesen creation. I feature her in a post here.
(If you don't know much about Burning Man, just Google it and look at the images. It's an annual bastion of self-expression and art.)

That is very original done with the fire shining over the photos
Interesting! It IS a cool effect.
Nice... the sun did a great job.
He is a very inventive artist, Sharon!
What a cool creative idea, well done.
That is a great exhibit. I think I'd even forget to drink. Or think I had drunk too much!
Very creative!
I just knew you would do something fabulous for your birthday Sharon.. btw how was the food? Hopefully the drama in the art didn't distract from the food 😁
The art of Bill Tonnesen has been removed. Here’s why: https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/women-accuse-art-bill-tonnesen-sexual-misconduct-phoenix-11353902
