desolate

i can't remember whether it was yr 9 or 10 when we decided it would be awesome to make an installation with a clothesline, miles of gladwrap, and white balloons... i also can't remember why...
anyway it started as a small classroom filled with 250 balloons (oh and we forgot to bring a hand pump) then a single string of 250 balloons snaking through the office and gallery, slowly turning into a giant 2.5m ball of balloons. then we thought we could wrap it in glad wrap, which we found doesn't actually stick to balloons - but we persevered!! 500 boxes later... and there it stood... in all it's meaninglessness, a monument to futility.

next question: would it bounce?? the little gallery-space happened to have an indoor balcony overlooking the art classroom-studio 3 or 4m below... i can't remember whether it floated majestically or plopped.

ah.. hope enjoyed my epic, i certainly enjoyed your photo ^^
