Sculpture: "Ecstasy" in Hayes Valley - SF

[thoreau]

an absolutely stunning warm day today in San Francisco - this is a beautiful sculpture by Karen Cusolito and Dan Das Mann - originally created for Burning Man in 2008. It is title "Ecstasy" - she's a stunning giant metal sculpture. Just beautiful!

From the artists: Ecstasy is one of the eight monumental metal figures of the artists’ masterpiece, Crude Awakening. In Crude Awakening, these eight figures surrounded a 99-foot tall wooden oil derrick in gestures of prostration, worship and exaltation. Alone, Ecstasy embarks on a hopeful journey. Instead of throwing her head back in reverie to the oil derrick, she gazes wistfully into the open sky as she steps forward into an optimistic future, free of dependency on fossil fuel.
