Our last morning of water tastings

Three artists and a reporter go into the desert

And drink air from glass clouds

Clouds of glass and mist

Jamie seeding clouds of glass

With water harvested from the air and distilled by the sun

Cloud vessels reign in the desert

That's what the abq newspaper will say when writing about isea2012. Except no reporters have come out here yet.
Nonetheless, the first EbM project of 02012, Nova Jiang and Jamie O'shea's Cloud Vessels, is a huge success.

Thanks to all who made it possible, especially the brave folks who came out to our desert oasis!

Cloud making

Yesterday Nova, Patrick, and I drove up to Santa Fe. The wonderful and amazing Patrick Morrissey of Prairie Dog Glass blew five cloud vessels of glass in his shop at Jackalope. Nova directed, and together they crafted a stunning solution to the problem of additive manufactured clouds being lost in the ether.
I'm in Santa Fe now picking up the finished cloud vessels. Woohoo!
In the desert yesterday, Jamie collected our first water with the solar still!
At ten am this morn we will begin serving water from clouds in the midst of the barren llano outside Los Lunas, New Mexico!

If your 3D rendered, additive manufactured clouds

Don't ship on time, the resourceful artist does not fret, she turns to polymer clay! Go PVC! Go Nova!

Tome Hill

Yesterday evening the Los Lunas crew took a side trip to Tome Hill, an ancient volcano protrusion in the landscape. The hill also serves as a local pilgrimage site. Tome Hill sits just north of the Los Lunas site and provides a spectacular view of the Rio Grande river valley. The sunset and the petroglyphs were well worth the hike up.
