This puppeteer is amazing, he can do anything with this puppet, I have posted photos of the John Paul before, but never the puppet. Here he is "climbing" up the the kid with his hands in his pockets (?) and when he get level with his face he knocks the kids hat off :-)

As an artist I work primarily to transform found and recycled objects into puppets and small theatre like settings that recall ancient mythology and folktales. The Janus headed puppet takes its concept from classical mythology and was created for a stop motion film and as a device to frame shots through its open box torso. The puppet is made from many materials such as found turtle bones, an old watch case, a spoon, almond shells and butterfly wings encased in mica. Papier-mache pulp forms the dual faces and copper wire binds the varied parts into cohesive and bendable limbs.

I know, I know, it's a character from Baby Einsteins, but...it's a dolphin! How could I refuse? ^^
Another yard sale find.
The giant nose puppeteer caught my eye. The girl's movements were very "robotic" and it was kind of cool. Little kids were just as amazed as I was. Her costume was really beautiful, too. I wasn't sure if there was someone in the big nose behind her or not.

Galway Street fair. The puppeteer asked for a volunteer and this boy came racing in, shouting out his excitement and joy.

Hi Heaven, built in 1921, is an old but delicate colonial building, which is a perfect model of combination of western and Chinese culture. As one of the ten villas in Gulangyu Island, Hi Heaven is the only one arranged symmetrically along the axis on the island. It was purchased by an overseas Chinese Huang Xiuliang from the Foreigner Club in the consession and then he constructed it, among the whole buildings in Hi Heaven the central one is the most special and unique.
The main features of Hi Heaven
Actually, there are 5 old villas in Hi Heaven, which can be divided into 3 sections that are open to the public. The first section has been developed into a cafe bar with Southeast Asian flavors, in which the visitors can enjoy relaxation and leisure. The second section has been developed into the Center of the Southern Ancient Music and Puppet Performances, where you can appreciate the highly skilled young puppeteers spinning plates and throwing batons to one another. The visitors can also enjoy the rare workmanship of puppet making in this section. The third section is the most distinctive one and has been developed into Architecture Art Museum of Gulangyu, mainly displaying some anecdotes of former famous people and the old stories of the house, which are very nostalgic.

The ‘Puppet show’ poses questions to the extent that the fashion industry controls how women present themselves. Within this series i have posed women as rag doll puppets, demonstrating control in a physical sense by the use of rope, controlling the models movements. The operator controlling the models from above gives the sense that the controller is much greater and powerful than these women. The controller is at the top of the industry leaving the women at the bottom to do as they are told. Alternatively, the controller could be seen as the dominant male, in that women want to look and feel attractive to please the opposite sex in order to feel acceptance within society. This suggests that men control women merely by their presence, but also that woman are allowing themselves to be controlled.
I have deliberately dressed the women in ‘The Puppet Show’ almost identically, using skirts that are made out of the same material but made by different designers. Every major fashion label claims to be different, however my image is suggesting that the fashions at one particular time, as well as the models presented, are limited and actually very repetitive. This also explores the way women look at other women and aspire to be just like them to the point we are all clones of one another; just like dolls.

The puppet had several moving arms, hinged in two places each and used springs for tension. The front arm also had a telescopic 'grabber'.
