Temple Radio, built for Julian and for Cosmic Campout 2023.

Cosmic Bloom (2023)

Effigy for Cosmic Campout in 2023. Alien biology, but nominally a giant suspended carnivorous plant.

Originally designed so an individual could step inside and pull a giant cow bone on a rope and the plant would close around them, "eating" them. Turns out 10' long wooden petals, even with lighweight construction, are way too heavy for this to work :(

The Forge of Hephaestus, probably the most interactive and incredible build I have ever designed. Built by an incredible crew. This project nearly killed me but I'm not sure I'll ever see its like again.

The forge was a 4000lb limestone structure built on-site in 48 hours, inside a ruined greek temple. The forge contained a lichtenberg device, a 40k volt lightning machine that would take laser cut wooden swords and etch them permanently with powerful magicks.

The users wield limestone hammers and a power control to shape the process.

The temple facade was a stunning CNC work by James Mercer.

The lightning ceiling was made by Zach Vonler

Teeny tiny temple.

Built for my brother Collin, as always, for burning man 2019.

Burned with the big temple.

The Karmadillo. Our first build in the burnerhood, stood at a crossroads in Polecat Creek. A metaphor for choice. So of course we burned it just before we moved home to NY. 

All pieces of previous builds, test cuts etc. The wings are dervish CNC cutouts I saved for 4 years! the body is a Temple Arc, the altar is a forge of hephaestus pillar. The face is a spare rocketship fuselage!

Summer Solstice 2020, built a small effigy to burn for a mushroom gathering out on Polecat creek. Beautiful little burn and some much needed socially distanced contact during the height of the pandemic.

In anticipation of the arrival of our daughter, Ashe Artemis Anderson, I built a small childrens bookshelf. The sides were chainsawed off that fallen cherry log on my parents property (yes this is the third project that has used that wood!)

The Rainbow Rocket, the project that started it all. The first piece of large art I ever built. I signed up for Flipside 2017 thinking that everyone, or most people anyway, brought a piece of art to burn! Turns out thats really not how burning works but I’ve hung on to it and joined the effigy crews and now I burn something at every burn!

Whirling Dervish Gates, built for my camp Rumi’s Tea House for Burning Man 2017.

Assembled just moments before the (semi famous) 2017 dust storm which damaged them pretty badly, but Rumi’s still sets them up every year.

Back in 2019 I built a rocket ship bike to ride around burning man, and I emblazoned it with a CNC stencil for my (very real) space trading outfit DA INTERPLANETARY.

I’m excited to say I am now building an interplanetary fuel depot under the same name now in Ithaca NY. If you’ve got a space ship, stop by! We will have hookups for vans and RVs so folks can stop in and fuel up! 

A tiny home for a shinto spirit, the old god of luck and longevity. Built from all scrap wood for my mothers Japanese garden.

Burning Flipside 2020 was cancelled because of coronavirus, but folks still got together (socially distanced) and burned some art.

My contribution was this teeny tiny temple called "Just roll with it" built entirely from scrap wood, cable spools and cutoffs from my neighbors new deck rails.
