Loui Bradley

The intention of the artist was to create a simple, organic form reminiscent of a tree. Loui incorporated a planter so that a vine could soften and fill the vertical arms of the form and integrate the mister into the landscape. The artist, Loui Bradley, is a retired Exhibit Design at the North Carolina Zoo.

The Watani Mister is located within the Watini region of Africa.
A large art installation of tall, metal tubes that are gathered at one end to resemble a tree trunk and flare out at the other end to resemble branches. Water is misting down from the branch-like features. The structure stands in a wooded area. The sun is filtering through the trees and lighting the mist causing it to look like a cloud or fog around the structure.
