Progress

I finally finished painting the eye on the pyramid inflatable from last semester. I was able to reserve the photo studio upstairs to take pictures. Here are a few edited pictures from the shoot.



I have also finalized all the inflatables that I am planning on having in the final installation. I needed to figure out the dimensions of each inflatable in order to verify the amount of space I will need. Here is a layout of my installation done in illustrator. I am hoping to get the basement of the work gallery on state street. Hopefully persistence in speaking with Mark will allow me to reserve this space.

I have also been working on the model for my next inflatable. So far I have cut out all of the pieces and just need to finish sewing everything together. Also, I have been in contact with the online fabric store to get a discount for the large amount of nylon rip stop for this new inflatable.
