Description: The artwork cloud haiku is a series of four cast bronze sculptures of pillows.
Artist Statement: These bronze pillows imply motion and softness in their static solidity and call into question the realities of direct experience. Embodied as a series of static objects in a dynamic center of the city, cloud haiku empowers the passersby as a dancer within the choreography of day to day life. Meisel encourages viewers to “Look here, look from across the street. Allow yourself to observe the pillows to align and unfold like a secret dance with cars, plants, objects and pedestrians.
