First Night's Fire Clock

The bucket of pellets mechanism see-sawed up and down aflame all through the evening. The front of the clock was decorated with meditations about Time.

When midnight arrived the Tiger figure at the top of the clock was unveiled. As this tiger image, a cut-out of metal, flamed with fire in the midnight dark, one could only think, very lovely.

First Night was an evening with Installations near the Pantages on Broadway in Tacoma. There were music and dance presentations at the Pantages Lobby, the Broadway Rehearsal Room, the Theater on the Square, The Pythian Temple, at the Rialto.At the Rhodes Building were free H1N1 shots.
