Gillian Hunt  / Artist

I helped create the Spirit Puppets. I heat bent metal for their mechanics, hard coated the puppets and created their faces, and built their stand.

I painted the spirit puppets and helped create their head pieces.

I learned the process of foam patterning and cutting in order to help create the animal puppets

I cut the foam pieces and glued the pieces together in order to create the animal puppet's ears

I applied a mix of materials in order to create a protective coating on the foam animal heads and prepare them for paint

I painted the Sarastro puppet
