Pattern cutting to make large scale sculptural pieces


I have never made a sculpture, or a pattern for a sculpture, this big. The structure is approximately 2.5 meters high and 4.5 meters wide. 

I was careful creating and cutting the pattern to make sure it is accurate, as there are so many vertical and horizontal lines that the eye will be drawn to any imperfections.

I created two separate patterns, one that can be replicated for the two exterior column pieces and another for the three interior column pieces.

I have just properly realised that I won't really be able to see the sculpture properly until it's inflated, and I am as intimidated by this aspect of the project as I am curious. 

My fabric arrived after being delayed by some idiots at DHL. Most unwelcome. But after it got to me, I cut out the 10 pattern pieces ready for painting on.
