Altered State at Burning Man 2008.

Kate Raudenbush's awesome sculpture, Altered State, was recently loaded onto a truck in Reno, and made it's way across the USA to CoSM. Shown here are some postcards on the journey from Peaches and Bronwyn, the team who made the odyssey.

The Mission of Art workshop participants prayed for the safe journey of the sculpture and for it's graceful installation, and being a blessing for the community. Now we are unloading, repairing and installing the beautiful structure.

Brian James operates the forklift, removing tons of steel sculpture.

Kate Raudenbush, Joey Stiles, Steven Shorts and Syd unload the sculpture.

Steven Shorts by some pieces that need repair.

Off to the sandblaster for re-surfacing...

Hey would any of our Burner or CoSM friends care to help us out paying for this extraordinary installation? Any DONATION would help. Be sure to come to the (free, open to the public) opening October 11!!!

Kevin Lund, who is generously donating his services building the concrete foundation for Kate's sculpture, here buries a crystal in a center of the circle that Kate and Alex energized with prayer.
