Over the Moon was a labor of love because it required the artist to cut the cow apart, three legs and the head were repositioned; the tail was reconstructed and placed high in the air.
The artist explains, When I first heard of CowParade Houston, I immediately thought of the nursery rhyme, Hey Diddle Diddle the cat and fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. I wanted to make a cow move through space and the sleeping cow seemed a natural complement to the theme. This cow has a sister cow, Mooon Dreams.
