I came across this interesting site which was about - The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) the page was based around “The Puppet Show,” a group exhibition that looks at the imagery of puppets in contemporary art.
I found it facinating as I decided I want to move away from making an actual puppet like a marionette or a muppet styled puppet but something more representational of myself as a puppet.
