It all began with a picture, I took
                                       of clouds at the end of a storm and the beginning of the sunset,

To give you an idea this was the intention (roughly): Physically the work consists of clays in several forms, different types of earth and earth processes.  Bisqued porcelain clouds, cracked, repaired, and filled with water to leak, hang above raw clay body, lying below as to receive the water falling and be changed by it.  The work plays at nature, mimicking it like a breathing stage set, only real to the limit of its lung expanse but real enough.
