Cloud Form 03.09 is a site-specific installation for HungryMan Gallery by the artist Mark Rumsey. The delicate material nature of Cloud Form is resented as a micro view into the cloud structure — droplets being played upon by light. By using the vehicle of the phenomena in our natural world, a cloud; the viewer is presented with a visual array that plays with ones understanding and perception. Like a cloud, the piece seems to be a highly organic, fluid organism while maintaining an underlying dominant, crystalline structure. Cloud Form 02.09 is on view concurrently at the Muskegon Museum of Art in Muskegon, MI.
