Mariko Kusumoto’s colorful balloons are made out of fabric and contain various objects symbolic of the artist’s lifestyle.
The Japanese artist uses transparent fabric for the orb-like forms. Contained within these soft-shell balloons are objects ranging from smaller orbs to sea creatures, cars, and more. Applying heat to the pieces allows Kusumoto to shape the sculptures as she desires around the objects that are to be contained inside. The artist writes in her statement, “My work reflects various, observable phenomena that stimulate my mind and senses; they can be natural or man-made.”
