Personal Narratives: Marionette
Statement: Marionette, is a reflection on our interconnectedness to the subconscious world and the personal journeys we undertake in order to navigate our human existence. These images intend to create a fantasy realm that contemplates change, entrapment and release. The environments that the marionette dwells in are personal elusive places and memory that are specifically linked to the process of discovery. They occupy subconscious places allowing us to process the notions and challenges of contemporary society in an imaginary world.
The series, which I still consider as a work in progress, has to date, 34 completed prints, and several small artist books. The marionette I use to create these images was specifically created for this project by artist, Roman Valdes, who makes these wooden figures and is also a professional puppeteer.
Prints range from 19" x 13" to 40" x 40". All prints are made on Fine Art Paper. Click on any image to see full view and/or view entire portfolio.
