TukitĂș Bird Papier MachĂ© Puppet
Artist: Cynthia Potter
Medium: Papier Maché & Fabric Puppet
Size: ~8" x 19"
About the art: My papier machĂ© puppets are inspired by the bright colors and wildlife found in tropical cultures & environments. The puppet's personality emerges as I combine fabrics, embellishments and brightly painted designs. Meet TukitĂș! He obviously loves parrandas!
About the artist: Puerto Rico is my childhood home; I lived there from the time I was 4 years old until I went off to college, Carlos & I got married there, and we have gone back to visit my home as often as we can. The nature and people of the island has been a constant source of inspiration to me. Hurricane Maria has destroyed many of the places I played and lived in. Fortunately, my father and stepmother fared the storm well. Though still without power or water, they are some of the lucky ones. So many others have not been so fortunate.
