Designed before the pandemic.
Planning construction around COVID-19 challenges
Closely checks Milligan’s pattern for the fabricators
Delivered safely to fabricator with masks and gloved hands.
Such a lovely gesture from the children.
Neighborhood children “love bomb” the studio placing hearts everywhere to remind us of joy.
To cut Bronze sheet for horse heads
Fabricated by the studio during dark days.
The head is taped together, then adjusted.
The heads take shape.
Then worked while still warm.
Outside the studio a blizzard.
The bars have arrived.
More hearts today and drawings of the pups. We will never forget this project built in an extraordinary time.
And now there are two.
And now there are three.
Annealing the bronze skin
More than 40 segments
But the studio is open
The Cloud Horse begins to take shape.
Welding the curves in place
Thick steel cut to size
The feet are set in place in the studio
In the darkness it awaits safe passage.
By this lovely crew.
Months after riots and a pandemic, the sculpture is finally in place.
