Art of Black Rock City 2026
Piko
Kate Kuaimoku — Oakland, CA, United States
About
Piko is built from recycled aluminum and cast aluminum ingots shaped into curved rib segments. Fabricated through custom molds, each rib contains a recessed channel for LED-neon lighting. Once assembled, the ribs form a continuous glowing interior that recalls the inner passage of a cooling lava tube. The surface will be finished in a red anodized powder coat, and programmable LED-neon lighting will animate the sculpture with a slow, ember-like pulse.
