Fluxor was a concept I came up with for the Building Woman Festival in Green River Utah in May 2023. Fluxor was born from upcycled objects (aka jenk) found at the eclectic Jenkstar Ranch where the festival was held. The body is constructed from an industrial farm drum structure, while the head is made from a steel barrel and wheelbarrow parts, accentuated by an assortment of scrap steel pieces like saw blades and engine parts.
Anyone can climb her back and become the dragon master! This dragon not only looks fierce and feisty, but can move its head and snap its jaws while breathing fire over the crowd at the main stage. The interactivity does not stop there, find her egg in the crowd and you can control the LEDs covering her wings and body! Shoutout to mickymakes.art for building the LED system with me.
In addition to designing and welding the entire structure, I designed and built the propane poof effect! This project was the culmination of many of my passions and has become one of my all-time favorite creations. Shout out to Scotty Soltronic for providing me guidance, access to some incredible jenk, and creative freedom to make this project so badass. Fluxor lives at the ranch or lights up the crowd for various festivals and parties held there.
