Some photos of the 'Fiddle my Fiddle' puppet installation at Peats Ridge Festival 2011-2012. The puppets were secured to the fencing using a whole bunch of cable ties threaded through holes in the back panel of each figure. Lengths of rope extending from between the legs of each puppet could be pulled to manipulate their legs into making endless high-spirited kicks. Children and the heavily intoxicated seemed to thoroughly enjoy this.
The puppets lasted two days before the inevitable idiotic tagging began and someone decided to snap off some of the plywood pieces. When Bow-Legged Bob lost a leg sometime around midday on New Year's Eve it was time to rescue the battered trio and store them safely until the end of the festival. Lesson learnt: drunk people can't have nice things.
