SCULPTURE: "Grandma Puppet"

I'm so happy to have creative friends to collaborate with! I spent the month of December 2018 working on a large puppet for actor/dancer Karen Lisondra and her husband, multi-instrumentalist Amado Espinoza. This puppet is a bit of a caricature of Amado's 102 year old Grandmother in Bolivia!! We all were inspired by the works of master puppet maker, Amelia Madeline. I studied a lot of videos on YouTube online about the process of making a puppet out of soft polyfoam, fabric, and latex rubber. It was a blast to work on...my first ever using these materials. Karen is working on a story to perform with Amado in the future using "Grandma". Stay tuned!!
