Scott Radke's marionettes and more puppetry at spaceandculture.

"Puppeteers... are discovering that audiences don't want yet another take on realism. People want the artificiality of puppets; they want to suspend disbelief and use their imagination. 'I think there's a hunger for spectacle - for those things that were there before realism took over,' [Old Trout] Balkwill says."
