Very cool!
And also very cellar-worthy.
Maybe next time he will try to make his sculpture around some type of structural support. Of course it would need to be extremely substantial, to support that kind of weight.
Years ago, during one of Georgia's rare winter storms, a neighbor at our apartment complex made one by letting his hose nozzle spray a fine mist into a tree about 20 feet tall. It was awesome in the daylight, but that night he put one of those christmas thingies that rotate and change colors in the lower part of the tree(my idea). It was AMAZINGLY beautiful.
The next day the tree collapsed in a heap of broken limbs, completely destroying the tree. (he wanted it bigger).......
The next week he moved out as a result of eviction.
Poor guy.
