Peace Candle
The Peace Candle has undergone several changes and variations over the last 58 years. The current candle was built in 1990, and is expected to last until about 2014, after which time Easton officials expect to build a new one. As of 2009, the central main candle stands , and the base brings it to about . It reaches a height of about above ground level when factoring the monument it rests atop. When the candle is assembled, several by 8-foot by box pieces are placed around the Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument, a Civil War memorial in Centre Square, the town square of Easton's Downtown neighborhood. Made from marine-grade plywood and galvanized steel, the box pieces are stacked vertically until the structure is assembled, and then bolted together using about 500 bolts inside the Peace Candle. The flame placed atop the candle is about high and illuminated with 31 bulbs. The entire structure weighs between eight and 10 tons. The main candle is surrounded by four, high side candles, and a fountain that surrounds the Peace Candle's base is filled with a ring of Christmas trees.
Adelle Lutz
One of Lutz's most renowned works is "The Peace Piece" (documented by Courtney Harmel and Sara Driver, amongst others). For this Creative Time supported performative action, which took place on March 21, 2003 (Persian New Years), six women wore black burkhas printed with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees statistics concerning war (90% of war casualties are civilians) and/or images of a full-term baby. Walking in metta meditation for twelve hours, they spread peace with every step, as they walked from the war memorial adjacent Staten Island Ferry, past the Stock Exchange, up Fifth Avenue, into Grand Central Station, through Rockefeller Center, ending in Times Square. Chashama showed video and sound documentation of "Peace Piece" in a storefront, whose window featured the six burkhas, confronting passersby during the "Imagine '04 Festival of Arts".
