An exploration of environment, of boundary between private and public space, between body and world- this project will develop helium balloons as vehicles of nuetral buoyancy and uplift.

Update
I have finally received the Cuben Fiber and can begin making a prtotype for testing.
I have made some paper models trying to figure out the panel construction of the
form I want. It is a sort of oblong, upside-down teardrop, and here you can see the
form's structure and the corresponding gore(shape) which the panels are cut from.
The first ballon is a small one, maybe 36" tall when done. I will make a few variations on this size and these balloons will autonomously float through the gallery space with remote cameras built in to give the sensation of flight.
Hi! Just want to say what a nice site. Bye, see you soon.
