There are so many amazing people on Pinterest but one artist who I’ve been following is Mary Osmundsen. She recently posted a piece by Lee Boroson and I had to share this artist’s amazing inflated installations!
The above piece is built out of nylon, monofilament, hardware, a blower, etc. – those are handmade clouds, inflated above these little babies. I love the puffy installations.
These types of pieces though don’t just need to be on the ceiling, they are also made to be on the floor. Part of me looked at these and thought lilypad from above – the other part of me then though, upside down world with lilypads from underwater! I love the care to make sure the power cords to the blowers are matching green.
Tassels? Oh yeah, tassels. This piece is called “Outpouring,” which makes sense to me. This piece also includes wood and decorative pins.
The above piece is glass, silicone, felt, wood, rope, and hardware. It’s like a bubbly cloud and what’s crazy to me is that each one of these 7,000 spheres is blown glass.
Huge! So wild. Lee attended the Philadelphia College of Art for undergraduate and then got an MFA from Indiana at Bloomington.
I love the idea of a soft staircase above a real one – doesn’t it look like it’d be more fun to slide down the blue slide instead of using the appropriate staircase?
This looks like a bomb explosion to me. Scary but then you remember it’s just air! I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to inflate this and have it not hold…
