Students volunteered to process recycled mattress foam to stuff the clouds.

Students at Sweet Briar College volunteered to help with bottle cleaning and sorting.

Using Rhino 3D modeling software, Ganch turned a topographical map into a dot matrix of twelve CNC-cut greenhouse roof panels. The 6,680 bottles that would screw into this 24-foot wide grid were each assigned one of seven colors.

Polycarbonate sheeting is CNC’d to fit the bottles.

The bottle bottom is cut off then the bottle is placed onto this homemade shredder and pulled through to create ribbons of shredded bottle.

Green and clear bottles are shredded and stuffed inside the bottles in varying amounts to provide color graduation.

Each donor was given a Susie Ganch original brooch.
