In the 1966 Finney spent a year  in America (on an exchange program) at the University of Wisconsin; living in Milwaukee during which he produced a vibrant body of new work inspired by  friendships with American artists such as Joe Freibert and Danny Pierce. This composition encapsulates Finneys excitement on taking this trans-atlantic flight and the new lease of life it gave to him in terms of artistic creativity.
