First Puppet – String Theory

April 30, 2012, by

In String Theory, our art course, we’ve created our first puppets and given them characteristics. The way each one is modeled reflects certain aspects of their personalities. The title image is of my puppet made out of paper. Below, you can read more about her:

Name: Sara Sterling
Age: 28
Hometown: Arcadia, Iowa
Current Location: New York City, New York
Family: Only grew up with one parent, her father, who is now deceased
Education: Brown University
Occupation: Creative director of ad agency
Hobbies: Reading, writing, swimming, crossword puzzles, chess
Variables in life: Is trying to find some company in life (perhaps a pet)
Puppet or the puppet-master? Puppet

Sara was born in Arcadia with her father looking after her. He passed away when she was 18, and since he left her with an inheritance she didn’t qualify for a guardian. She decided to move to New York to look for opportunities.
