'Liminal Creatures and an Infestation' is the latest iteration of an ongoing, two year long, project centred around the creature, nicknamed 'the boy', and the clown

It features 2 distinct performances by me with 3D printed performance objects and a light and 3D printed sculpture based installation.

My goal with this project is to explore how the two characters, clown and boy, interact with each other and the world.

What world do they exist in?

What are they doing? 

How did they get here?

How do they survive? 

Puppet and Puppeteer, who is who?

How do we control and influence each other? 

Are we separate or are we one?
