Remembering Ian at the Temple of the Heart at Burning Man

I built a big art installation at Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada in August. Every year at this event a beautiful wooden Temple is built where people go to take their memories of someone they have lost. They create shrines, leave words, photos, and memorabilia, and sit quietly thinking of that person. It was a particularly beautiful Temple this year called the Temple of the Heart. On the last day the Temple is burned in total silence. It is a solemn and moving experience. I felt moved to remember Ian there.
