Wow!
The Rusty Iris is a mobile, multi-media mutant vehicle designed to explore transformation through the process of collaborative creation.
Rusty is community built and community funded - we're doing this together! Come see us at one of our events!
If you can, donate to our build fund, or hire Rusty and/or Bad Hat Fire for your event!
What is a Mutant Vehicle?
The Rusty Iris began life as a school bus, but you'd never guess that now! Every inch has been welded, grinded, riveted, painted, draped and lit. Now she's all curves, illuminated by on-board flaming sculptures and shimmering lights.
Rusty is a garden of metal, always growing and evolving. Each time you see her she'll probably be different! Look closely. Do you see the iris petals? Do you see the eye looking back at you? Welcome aboard a rolling, interactive world of mystery, creation, and discovery.
