About us:
The Flaming Lotus Girls are a female-driven, San Francisco-based group of
artists who have been making kinetic, mechanical fire art since 2000. Our
work is composed of steel, stainless steel, copper, glass, wood, light, and
fire – and stands at the intersection of sculpture, kinetics, robotics,
pyrotechnics, and electronic technology. Our flames blaze in sizes ranging
from 2 inches to over 150 feet. We create interactive large-scale
installations that engage viewers and invite them to become part of the art.
