Jason Hackenwerth is a sculptor and performance artist who uses balloons to create large-scale invented creatures that resemble strange animals, insects, and micro-organisms.  Drawing upon his years of experience as a children's entertainer, Hackenwerth creates his creatures on location by blowing up hundreds, sometimes thousands of balloons and stringing them together in unusual forms.  As with all balloon art, Hackenwerth's works slowely deflate over time, which he sees as mirroring the natural life process of all living things.
