Our idea for this project was to create a story through a hand “controlling” a puppet. The puppet figure is sculpted to be falling down with some strings cut from the hand. This demonstrates the puppet escaping from their controller. We wanted to use line both in the strings as well as the wire figures. We went with a continuous line sort of blind contour style for the figures to give it more “line” qualities. We had initially wanted to install this just laying on a surface with a counter weight in the arm. We then had some help coming to the conclusion that it would look better coming out of the wall. We reinforced it with fishing string holding it from the ceiling, as well as thumbtacks holding it to the wall.
