Cavalieri asked Italian scientist Stefano Mancuso about harvesting plants on the moon. “When the time will come that we will move on (the) Moon, then we will build big special greenhouse able to maintain temperature and oxygen at level compatible with the life; at that moment, in principle, (it) will be possible to cultivate any plant, or at least the more efficient in producing biomass as maize.” says Mancuso.

In “Earth Cross” Joseph continues his exploration of form, space, and perspective using techniques of fired and layered painted glass.
