Hello Burning Man Art Folks,

Our installation from last year, the "Swirling Vortex", is currently collecting dust (or, shedding dust, I guess), in my basement. It's looking for a good home. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's my favorite flickr picture of it:

And here are a bunch of construction photos showing how it was built, and how it comes apart.

The rungs are made of heavy-duty PVC electrical conduit. The base is all steel.

My main goal is to get it out of my basement! I would love to pass it on to someone who wants to either set it up somewhere else, or wants to reuse any of the parts in a new creation. The base, in particular, is very strong and versatile -- if you've got a project idea for something that spins, it could easily be repurposed.

Worst case, I'll donate the steel and scrap the conduit. But, I'd love to find a better home for it!

Email: robjjensen (at yahoo dot com) if you have any ideas!
