It's kind of cool the effect the flowers have as you move right to left. The different planes shift at different rates. It was pretty easy to control the flames, but as you can see in the top photo, it was impossible to burn the corner where the edge of one level meets the surface of the next. At first I liked this effect, but now I'm not so keen on it. I also think the flowers are too tall for the piece, or not tall enough. Tough to lengthen them, easy enough to pound them in a little more. I had originally thought of it as a “pedestal piece,” but I think it might be better as a wall hanging.

How would you display it? On a wall or sitting somewhere? When you were burning the piece, did you find it hard to keep it from catching on fire? A good exploration of the dimension possibilities.

When you were burning the piece, did you find it hard to keep it from catching on fire?
