Rage Against the Night is a Large Art Burn (LAB) for Alchemy 2024, the theme of which is Lighting the Void.
My original idea involved pine saplings, 5–6-foot pieces, sharpened at either end like toothpicks, arranged in rows like palisades, and multiple palisades arranged in some menacing maw kind of configuration.
Burners would be invited to write something about their particular trauma/shadow, fold it up, and then drive it between the saplings with wooden wedges left over from the sharpening. As the burn went on, the fearful monster of the sculpture would be overwhelmed with “slings and arrows,” and on Sunday afternoon, we burn it.
I will be posting updates as we move further into the year.
