It was constructed at The ForSite Foundation in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, close to the gold mining town of Nevada City. The idea for this piece arose from seeing evidence in the Maidu acorn grinding rocks of a previous sustainable use of land, destroyed in 1849 by the influx of miners and the catastrophic degradation of the landscape and biodiversity due to gold mining, which is still polluting rivers to this day. These small bowls, worn into the granite rocks, were filled with water and reflecting passing clouds. The clouds forming over the mountains and giving rise to snow, create a rain shadow over Nevada, but also give life through snow melt to areas of the Nevada desert such as Pyramid Lake.

The idea therefore was to make a notched log chamber, open at the top and containing a boulder with a carved water bowl in it which would reflect the passing clouds. The Logs came from diseased trees on the Donner pass and were notched and numbered so the whole structure could be moved to the roof top of the museum in Reno, where it would again reflect the white puffed desert clouds. A video was made of a day in the sky above the chamber and the grinding rocks and shown in the exhibition together with a large image of the work at ForSite,  pasted to the wall.
