Ply puppet project for Peats Ridge Festival 2011-2012. 


Fiddle my Fiddle is an interactive installation exploring the wonderful but oft-overlooked world of hillbilly puppetry. For the project, I am making a life-size three piece hillbilly band out of recycled ply decorated with a whole bunch of pen and paint illustration. When their pulley system is activated, Washboard Abbott, Bow-Leg Bob and Moonshine Mac will perform a special hoe-down for Peats Ridge punters.

Do the Worm!

Installation exhibited as part of Jess Stewart's, Do the Worm! show at Kudos Gallery, Paddington. Jess curated a 5 day worm symposium including worm hole talks, worm screenings, a showcase of worm inspired art and a worm dance tutorial. I foolishly volunteered to teach the worm dance class, luckily there were few attendees, and some much needed assistance from worm dancing pros on youtube.
