Creating wacky wavy inflatable patterns

I made 2 test patterns, one 2m high and one 3m high. This gives me two heights to inflate in the gallery space itself and see now they sit curatorally. And also two heights to test with my fans.

I decided to go with a flat pattern, because this fabric is a tedious slippery nightmare to work; making sewing a round seam miserable. 

I will use some of the off cuts to experiment with using a posca paint pen to write on the fabric.

I am making 5 of these in total, and each one is to be embellished with one of Tony Benn's questions to the powerful:

"What power have you got?"

"Where did you get it from?"

"In whose interests do you exercise it?" 

"To whom are you accountable?" 

"How can we get rid of you?"

I do love the piece in pink. They look will like giant wafting dicks, which feels appropriate given the conversation. 

And it's my branding in a way. 

BAKER MILLER PINK FORVER!
