Little Fluffy Clouds

You know, there's a reward for the 5th missing cloud

A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of exhibiting a few projects for my Central Saint Martins work-in-progress show at Westbourne Studios, a cavernous space found beneath the Westway bypass. Designed to take full advantage of the vaulted ceilings unique to the building, ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ was an installation that bought a light touch to a ceiling of motorway concrete.

Helium balloons proved to be a tricky material to use, with the project requiring many prototypes before anything (literally) got off the ground. The resulting design utilised a type of polystyrene usually found in insulation to give the balloons their unique shape; and after losing one on the tube (last seen at London Bridge) I managed to successfully tether them down for the opening night.
