Desmond has never seen my work before so it was exciting to hear a fresh perspective on my work.
We talked about incorporating folklore into my work to perhaps give it some context and a storyline. I like the idea of local folklore and Desmond suggest looking at 'Charles Freger's Wilder Mann', which has been suggested to me before, and 'Mummers, Maypoles & Milkmaids: A Journey Through the English Ritual Year'.
We also talked about my plans for puppets and how I could make the most out of the performative qualities of them by watching the animals we are creating in real life and studying their specific movements. All of this will then allow me to create a 'realistic' interpretation of the animal. I plan to look at Joseph Beuys 'I like America and America likes me (1974)' to begin thinking about the connection between me and the animal.
