Who to Contact: Concerning Burning Art at the Temple

Post by kowtow » Thu May 31, 2018 7:54 pm

Given the unforeseen events that occurred in April with the passing of Larry, I have wanted to thoughtfully integrate something related into our camp theme and interactivity this year. I need help finding who to coordinate with on taking plaques to the Temple for burning. Here is the background for this request.

We will be dedicating a 10ft x 10ft x 10ft space as a tribute to Larry. It will be the entrance to our main 600sgft theater area. This art will be front and center in the space.

This is laser cut from birch and it has multiple LED strobes that change colors automatically or with music. The head is glass and atop the head is the iconic "Open Road" fur Stetson that Larry was most known for wearing. The art piece stands nearly 8ft tall alone, but this will be mounted on a 20" (possibly rotating) base.

In the space surrounding the art will be Ema (Japanese) boards. These are small wooden blanks (laser engraved on one side) and visitors will write on the opposite side wishes, thoughts, prayers, words of compassion or encouragement, etc. These plaques will be hung in the space surrounding the art piece.

Before the burn I would like to take all the plaques over to the Temple for the burn which is traditionally what is done in Japan with the Ema boards, they are hung at the shrine until a special event at which time they are burned.

Any help on this request would be much appreciated. - Thanks
