What is a Healsphear?



Healsphear is a hokey title for a bamboo sculpture (heal sphere, heals fear).
It had no magical healing powers. It only made me feel better whenever I was working on it.
It sat atop the Mound of Knowledge.

It began during the first lock down of the Covid-19 pandemic, March 21 2020.

It was constructed from 6 foot lengths of bamboo arranged into triangles and assembled as modular components into a funky kind of Buckyball.

Actually, the initial structure was more along the lines of an icosahedron.

The first lengths of bamboo, which served as the core, came from the bamboo used to fly "Of a Temporary Nature" at Burning Man 2017.

Healsphear was released on Solstice Day, 2021. 
This was also Father's Day, 
and
the Anniversary of the First Burning Man on Baker Beach.
