Draco's Nest

Joshua Birkmaier and Kelsey Sailsbery

2019

Valdez, Colorado

A collection of ten steel sculptures housing large-scale flame effects and custom LED lighting. The pieces evoke the talons of Draco the Dragon, and are illuminated through decorative patterns cut into the sides of the sculptures. Originally installed at the Apogaea festival in 2019, the piece has traveled to venues all across the country to provide prime set-pieces for live events.
