Cloud Sculpture

Detail of London Fog (2017) by Fujiko Nakaya, at the Tate Modern, London, UK,

In April of this year, Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya produced a cloud sculpture in the heart of London. Using a combination of water vapor, lights and sound, her outdoor exhibit was a modernist take on the familiar Stratus cloud (yes, that’s the cloud cover we have this morning, although ours is not ground-level). The artist herself explained that “People love the feel of fog on their skin, immersed, wet and cold, but gentle and soothing. It’s a primary experience.”
