Hatchery - Dallas C.O.R.E. Project.

This was a nice-looking piece but sadely the spiral pathway was not designed and built to be climbed. It would have been so nice to climb up the fiery spiral and get down by the stairs. So i gave that one a thumb down.

Artists often forget that making "climbable" art is very important at Burning Man. I get very disappointed everytime i see a "Do Not Climb" sign on a large art installation on the Playa.

When I mentioned that to the artist, she was extremely upset at me.
