Puppet-Making Demonstration: B. Lynch (Zoom): Artist B. Lynch describes her puppet-making process, sharing images of in-progress and finished objects and exploring the techniques she used to create the characters in the time-bending universe of the Reds and the Greys in the exhibit "Pull Back the Curtain." Lynch does not consider herself a puppeteer, but rather a visual artist who uses performative objects. She uses oversized masks, tiny puppets, full-size hand puppets, and large figurines in installation setups and performative videos. 7 p.m. B. Lynch uses puppetry, drawing, painting, linoleum block prints, digital animation to create precisely rendered, meticulously detailed characters and environments. Her art looks at the corrosive effect of income disparity on our society and democracy.
