Glow Globs
Glow Globs is an inflatable lighting installation made of white nylon fabric, a blower fan and LED lights. The installation consists of three abstract forms, each measuring between 2.5 and 3 meters in each direction. The shapes were developed with three-dimensional modeling and were inspired by smoke and air flow. Each form is built from 80 to 100 sewn panels. LED lights are suspended inside, so the color changing light is diffused softly through the fabric. The forms collapse when the fan is switched off, so the installation can be moved and deployed at other locations.
