My fascination with clouds was enthusiastically explored during The River’s Journey Project. I was looking at water in all of its forms by following the water cycle. This transpiration circle begins and ends in the clouds; water’s highest source.
This installation was created for the Wildling Museum of Art and Nature. It metamorphasized over the course of a year with new plants that reflected each season.
A Norfolk Island Pine tree floats in the middle of the room under a bright blue cloud studded sky. Large chandelier crystals are suspended by invisible threads from ceiling to floor mimicking a rain shower. Smaller kokedama moss balls are planted with coleus, spider plants and succulents. These are suspended throughout at different levels creating a floating plant forest in the midst of crystal rain. Centered below are three large tree trunks. Their faces are covered with mirror and reflect back the sky and plants and light patterns reflecting through the hundreds of floating crystals.
This installation was designed to be scene from the outdoors as well as from the inside.
