Mhairi Vari's "Support for a Cloud" is in three different locations: one piece is at the top of a lamp post and the other two are on the side of the Lloyd's Building. It is an outdoor TV aerial covered in wire coat hangers, and greenhouse/poly-tunnel repair tape. It plays across ideas of micro and macro and references aspects of natural science, from cosmological formation to insect cocoons. The artwork is intended to inhabit the urban environment with its alien, nest-like structures that play on synthetic/organic forms. The surface of the "cocoons" has been created with loops of tape. The surface is alluring as it catches both daylight and artificial light, which further bring the work to life. The works are like small pieces of architecture inhabiting the man made environment like nests or protective cocoons. Looking south-southeast.
