Bio

True North Absurdities is made up of Kyle Jensen and Ian Rice, who aim to achieve absurd levels of creativity through their stylistic combinations of sculpture, technology and flame effects.

Their first solo project, “The Notorious B.A.D.”, a 10′ steel dragon crawling out of the ground with interactive flame effects and LED-addressed scales.

They were immediately hooked on the joys of blasting fireballs into the sky and watching people’s faces light up as they became a part of the art.
