Sinner's Hall of Shame

Project Lead: Kimmee

Panels by: Kimmee, MusicVixen, Shady, Ash+Moose+Amelia+Chad, Jim, and....?

(Yes, I see only 5 panels, but after a few drinks, who really gives a rat's a§§)

Teams of artists will construct 8' x 8' panels depicting burningmanized renditions of the 7 deadly sins.

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

Each panel will have strategically placed cutouts that will allow visitors to insert their faces and various body parts into the panel containing the sin of they choice. This link takes you to some work-in-progress pictures: http://www.rhoadsart.com/currentframe.html

A digital camera will be mounted on a 360 degree mount that will allow burners to pose and be photographed for posterity. Images will be available on the web shortly after the burn.

We will have a Sinner Spinner - a wheel of sinning fortune that you can try your luck at while visiting this interactive piece.

Here's Ash and Jim posing in the "Greed" panel.

NOTE: Sinners will be forgiven by our resident reverends after they recite the appropriate number of "Hail Larrys":

Hail Larry,
Grinning face,
The Man is with you,

Blessed are you among old farts,
And blessed is the fruit of your imagination.

Wholly Larry; Hat with a bod
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the moment of our climax.
