Completed “Fire Inside” Sculptures

Privately owned, publicly shared artworks by Matthew “Timeless” Welter

_______________

Black Rock City is a curious, temporary city built each summer in Nevada’s barren Black Rock Desert  and each year it is removed without a trace. That city is home to Burning Man, epicenter of a global art community centered on fire art and Fire Inside is on the cutting edge of fire art. With special hardening finish, these are the only artifacts from the famous culture ever to survive their own "burn", so they are charged with the entire experience. With emphasis on Liberty, Fire Inside has been designed to affect this culture-bending community’s evolution in profound ways. Liberty (R)evolution is a traveling art collection that by now numbers a score of works ranging from small to towering. Only half of these have their iconic burns … so far. We consider these completed.

 

This index archives the only completed Fire Inside sculptures ever to emerge from this all new art form; living embers from a pivotal art community … tangible relics of the mysterious culture that spawned them. And with bronze casting techniques their story is only just begun!

 

Message in a bottle...

Using digital imaging, 3D printing and modern casting techniques, art collectors can now have any piece in this collection replicated in any size, small to huge, in real bronze. Just imagine the chars and grain textures in buffed bronze!

 

The artist known as Timeless, a life-long poet has even penned a short rhyme for each, that can be engraved into the surface, to explain Liberty to tomorrow’s people.

Liberty (R)evolution, the art installation, needed one sculpture to pull its message together. For that, the artist, known as Timeless added his own clay sculptures to a 3D printed rendition of Michelangelo’s David; history’s great liberator. This sculpture, by digital magic, is now being enlarged in hot-cast  bronze, 10’ tall. That enlargement will stand proudly at the nation's premier international art exhibit, the exclusive Art Basil, Miami, Fla. in '23.
