Cloud Construction

I have been thinking a lot about what materials would work best for my project. Sara Rockinger used fiber to make the figures in her "In/Visible". Fiber worked really well for her piece but I think for mine, I would like to use a material that will absorb more color. The figures in her piece were very transparent.

Pillows are a possibility. They might absorb too much color though and cast too dark of a shadow unto the  background. But I could play around with the pillow stuffing. Also, I could use some normal pillows and some feather pillows. The different types of pillows may create a different effect.

















Light bulbs could be really cool. I liked the example of a past students work that involved light bulbs. This could get expensive though and I want my clouds to look as fluffy as possible.









Cotton balls could be fun to play around with, but if I use a small material it would be difficult to make my clouds really large. Also I it could be very hard to connect all the cotton balls together.
