puppetry
iterations of a creature (2025)
creature was created as a project to test different forms of fabrication, including clay modeling, 3d printing, and roto-casting.
sleepy dean (2025)
sleepy dean was modeled after a sardine tin, meant to express more of my love and admiration for fish. he is a hand puppet encased within a large cardboard and thermoplastic structure modeled after a tin, with the ability to be performed both in and out of it.
head carving project (2025)
this head was carved in the image of the university of connecticut’s puppetry department leader, bart roccoberton. this was my first foray into hand chiseling with some adjustments made with a band saw and dremel.
oaroboros w.i.p (2026)
a work in progress puppet built around a fettatov control and modeled after the elusive oarfish, allowing for the head to turn and rotate. currently the puppet is able to be performed both vertically (mimicking the fish’s natural swimming movement) and horizontally.
