Loggerhead Turtle Puppet - Inspired by “The Herds”

Made in collaboration with Allie Evans

His name is Lawrie
The mechanism we created used several small dowels for redirecting and guiding the string through the body of the puppet, attaching to rotating pieces that move the fins.

The entire mechanism is essentially a singular loop of string that moves the fins in and out in accordance with the direction the string is pulled.

Krampus Mask - Commission for Flatlands Dance Festival

Concept Sketches
For the base of the mask, I used a preexisting one and used plastic bags and tape to build out facial features such as the brow and lips. I used cardboard to fill in the gap where the chin lies. Then I covered it all in several layers of papier mâché.
With the base finished, I cut out strips of cardboard and packed them with plastic bags and tape to construct the horns. I then covered the horns in papier mâché
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
