A presentation of prototypes within the same room as a collection of masterfully designed and fabricated performing puppets assembled and presented by the Curious School of Puppetry.

The art pieces here presented are prototypes.
They are form and movement explorations along my creative way; indicating where I have been and functioning as a physical-dynamic point of departure.


Two separate journeys are presented in this selection of prototypes;


A butterfly journey (2014 - 2017) culminating in the creation of the piece Flight is a Waltz, in collaboration with artist Dominic Harris, and presented at the prestigious Design Basel/Miami Exhibition in 2017.


A dragonfly journey (2018-2019) resulting in the analogue, responsive
work Dragonfly-Imago, the focus of a solo exhibition at Circus Gallery, Marylebone, London in 2019.

Puppetry is an art form which naturally transgresses boundaries.
Puppetry exists/has existed in some form within all traditional and modern cultures throughout the world.
However simple, a puppet comes into being through an active observation of  form, movement and rhythm.
The physical aspect of puppetry is in essence a poetic exploration of what is currently termed biomechanics.
The way in which a puppet is given movement by a person involves some form of interface, physical or remote.
I feel that through an intimate relationship between Art and Science we all have much to gain.
