Over 4 years, I documented & co-produced over

30 shows in assorted spaces around Boston, put on by fellow students and myself at the

Studio for Interrelated Media.

puppetry

A giant mantis, a newscaster with 8 arms, and a flesh eating monster. I've had the joy to bring all these creatures and more to life. Teaching about, making, and sharing the joy of puppets was a focus of my undergraduate expirience.

Primarily using cut paper and puppet stop motion, I created a series of small solo films, mainly based off of a strange dream I had, like a universe hopper or a hole in the earth.
