Rob Tarbell- “Happy Birthday Noah”
Rob Tarbell- “Happy Birthday Noah” $100.00
“Happy Birthday Noah” is a gift and a
theft or a borrow. I stole the idea from the stuffed-bear–in a balloon
gift, borrowed some insertion methods from elaborate equipment
supposedly needed to impregnate the balloon with a passenger and then
the limited lifespan gave it life. The gradual deflation of the balloon
slowly revealed and wrapped the skull while staying suspended above the
present, as scene HERE.
