Balloon Installations
A great balloon installation requires equal parts inspiration and perspiration.
As one of the pioneers of large-scale pure balloon sculpture (ie. no framing), I have spent thousands of hours designing and building big balloon-based art. Highlights include being the first balloon sculptor to have a piece commisioned for a major gallery (the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto), building a six metre pyramid in Sarajevo, and creating (with Dutch artist Hester Oerlmans) the world's first balloon fashion show (In Utrecht, Holland).
My work bursts with creativity (not literally). I have developed a style based largely on my own innovations. During the creation of a piece the speed of execution is blinding, and the endurance almost unbelievable. If I am building in a public space, large crowds of curious onlookers are inevitably drawn to the spectacle.
I create both entirely original works, and custom pieces based on other peoples designs- for example logos or mascots.
