This sculpture is play. A joyous piece expressing the never ending formation and movement and ethereal change of clouds in the sky. Near our home in Italy we have a beautiful mountain top called Prato Fiorito. It is a bald mountain of just grasses and flowers. Ancient people have always come here. We often go there and watch the clouds slip over its peak and slide down towards the valleys below. I call it the cloud factory. This sculpture is the joyful play of our minds as we cloud watch.
