David Taylor hasn't added a story.
Hello, my name is Dave Taylor, leader of Destiny Lounge 3D, a Burning Man theme camp. Debi Cable and I are the two artists creating a sacred space called the Temple uv Enlightenment to be debuted at Burning Man this year. We're part of the same team that has been bringing you Destiny Lounge 3D for the last 12 years and this is our first foray into a playa art piece. Our temple is a glowing beacon of hope, intended to draw people in and provide an inspiring experience for them.
The pagoda-like structure is covered in beautiful blacklight reactive 3D artwork, created by my fellow artist Debi Cable. The installation is an extension of our theme camp, Destiny Lounge 3D, which has been delighting visitors for many years at Burning Man. Primarily constructed of wood, the temple is an intricate, Asian-inspired structure, with ornate cut panels and heavy wooden beams, surmounted by a multi-layered roof with a glowing sphere on the top.
At the request of the Burning Man Organization for interactive public art pieces in the Black Rock City plazas, we designed the Temple to be just that. The Temple provides a venue for musicians, storytellers, weddings, meditation and we're sure many other activities. Brilliantly colorful by day, the Temple will positively shine at night under the UV lighting integral to the structure. It will ideally be an amazing centerpiece to one of the public plazas in Black Rock City, pending placement!
There is a very personal side to this structure as well. Earlier this year, one of our dearest camp members, Scott Cutler, was taken from this earthly plane quite unexpectedly. We wish to dedicate this structure to his memory, and a small plaque will be included inside. Scott left an indelible mark on all of our hearts and he is sorely missed. His incredible light was extinguished far too soon.
We are seeking your financial help to cover a portion of the materials involved in the construction. Any funds donated will be applied directly to the purchasing of lumber and hardware needed to complete the structure. Construction has commenced and we are moving forward swiftly to completion of the physical structure in order to allow plenty of time for the artwork to be done.
This is a labor of love for Debi, myself, and the entire Destiny Lounge crew. If you are interested in helping in other non-financial ways, we are doing various building/painting weekend events between now and the Burn. We have a Facebook group available with more info on these happenings. Just search for the Temple uv Enlightenment.
If you can find it in your heart to assist us financially in this beautiful tribute to Scott, even in a small amount, please don't hesitate. Thank you very much!
