10 Burning Man Principles

The 10 Burning Man Principles Pendant (TBMP), 2021 Pendant by Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs.

As written by Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs in a post for the One Eyed Monster Fundraiser.
“My 10 Burning Man Principal Pendant inspired me to capture everything I know about becoming a Burner. This is achieved by starting from within and understanding who we are before we venture out to understand Burning Man.
Everything about BM is captured on this pendant, the city, the 10 principles, and the Man. From all of this, we learn how to LIVE, LOVE, and DANCE and this endless journey, as represented by the circle and the four points representing our Mind, Emotions, Desires, and Will.”

Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs is one of the Playas most prolific and artistic makers. Each year he pushes the his concepts past the boundaries in both in material and production methods.
