"The Walk"

I was commissioned to build a puppet for the massive international art project “The Walk” here in NY

“The Walk” has followed the giant puppet Amal who is a young girl who has fled fro Syria as a refugee. The project follows her across the world as she seeks home.

I was commissioned by Shadow Box Theatre and the Jamaica Center for Arts and learning to make a puppet of Rufus King that would greet Amal at his house in Jamaica. It was great to plat a small part in the project and finally meet Amal in person!
