Wayne Higby installed EarthCloud in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University in western New York state. It took four years to create EarthCloud, which is the largest installation in porcelain worldwide. The work embodies the idea of an ethereal fusion of earth, sky and architecture that is to be sensorily appreciated. The work stands 9 m high, is 17 m wide and incorporates over 6,000 individual elements, each measuring about 20 x 18 cm. Higby formed all those elements, using 18 tonnes of porcelain paste to do so and each is a one-off. All porcelain elements boast a celadon glaze and were muffle-fired at 1300 degree.
