Perseverance Furthers

This Puppet show explores narratives based on elements of the Yi-Ching Book of changes and the Divinatory system it embodies.

The main Character, Dr. Persey V. Further is a scientist specializing in the general field of Change, which ends up looking a lot like a fortune teller. They are a life size puppet made mostly out of recycled furniture parts, built around a Chandelier like core structure of a Yi-Ching Hexagram.

Partial performance elements of Perseverance Furthers participated in the Arcata PuppetSlam of 2022 and 2023.

Shesh Besh Loom Calculator

It was my pleasure to conceive and co-

curate this group show at Ink Poople Center For The Arts Brenda Tuxford Gallery in Eureka

Here  is my contribution: The Shesh Besh Loom

 

Board games are a good way to pass time in between. And very few games hold the balance between luck and skill as delicately as Shesh Besh (aka BackGammon.)

A set of simple rules makes the flow of the game effortless… almost meditative… allowing the mind to wander free into other realms.
