rosemarie fiore’s pyrotechnics collage: do NOT try this at home!

Visual artist Rosemarie Fiore explodes live fireworks on blank sheets of paper, moving the containers around on long poles, seeping saturated color on to the paper. Fiore then adds blank paper circles, explodes more fireworks and repeats this process several times, resulting in a deeply layered collage, thick with color and circular motion.
