Jason Hackensworth is a balloon artist , but not the kind that wears oversized shoes and has been the villain in a1990 repulsion motion picture . He ’s roll in the hay for his balloon sculptures of biological forms and creatures , like this anemone - same carving , currently on displayin the Grand Gallery of the National Museum of Scotland as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival .
The installation is call Pisces . Made from 10,000 - balloons , it ’s Hackensworth ’s rendering of the Greek legend of Aphrodite and her son Eros escaping the fiend Typhon by becoming a couple of intertwined fish . The prototype of the duet was later immortalized in the sky as the constellation Pisces . It take Hackensworth and his squad most a week to blow up the balloon then weave them all together into this predominate creation . Imagine how many balloon start in the operation . Anyway , it occur together to create this amazing carving , which is on display through April 14 . It ’s much more telling than your average balloon animal . [ This Is Colossal ]
