This is part of my 'Pupp-cycled' series. I made this puppet out of packing paper from an online order and used him to tell the tale of legendary Malaysian warrior Hang Tuah. This was inspired by Pointless Theatre Co.'s adaptation of the Tuah myth, which we hope to perform live one day soon when the world heals a bit more. In the meantime, check this short film out!

A shadow puppet short I built in elegy to my father Michael O'Malley (1942-2002). The recorded text of the piece is a quote from Marcel Proust.

Tiny puppet piece set to the music of Abba that I built about courtship... and how sweet it is!

One of the first pocket crankies I built after taking a workshop with Katherine Fahey through the National Capital Puppetry Guild. It's a story about finding your family and feeling complete.

A 'pocket crankie' or tiny scrolling puppet show I built to celebrate Edgar Allan Poe's last published poem Annabel Lee. This was also inspired by the at home audio drama exploration of Poe done with my theater company We Happy Few DC. Check that out here: https://www.wehappyfewdc.com/poeaudio

A cute little crankie I constructed about an adventurous box cat with big dreams and no motivation.

A conceptual digital puppet short film collaboration I did with synth composer NRG RNNR for the Rhizome DC Virtual Puppet Slam 2020. Artist statement: "Irreality" was born in the unrest of the present with isolation and civil uprising marking the day. It juxtaposes mundane tedium with the splashy, childlike whimsy of the inanimate made incarnate. The term is defined as, the state of being insubstantial or imaginary; not existing objectively or in fact.

Did vocals on this cover, with Zach Hosale (aka NRG RNNR) on electric guitar.
