Stainless steel mesh was used to make dandelion fluffs. Strips of stiffer mesh were shaped into temari balls for the interior structure and tufts of very soft mesh were attached to the outside to make them fluffy.
The inspiration for this project came from a purchased light fixture (above the cats) that looks like what happens when you blow on a dandelion seed head.
To get enough light for the space, we needed more dandelions!
The power source wasn't where we needed it, so we created a separate sculptural element out of aluminum channel to distribute power.
