Puppets and People

Medium: Linen Oil Painting on Canvas
Dimensions: 67 x 51 in
Puppets and People offers no clear distinction between what is performing and what is being observed. Human figures share the space with constructed forms that appear strangely animated, creating relationships that shift the longer one looks. Scale, posture, and placement become part of an unfolding narrative that never fully explains itself. Familiar boundaries between object and figure begin to blur, leaving the viewer somewhere between a studio scene and a stage set.
