A Surrealist Vision
Through my form of "self-puppetry" I am exploring
the identity of the artist and process of the art.. The project uses fabrics,
figures and miniature sets, to create an enchanting operatic vision.
Influenced by the work of Remedios Varo, assemblages of Hannah Hoch,
the supernatural world of the Japanese Noh theater,
and a fascination with puppets and dolls.
