Faulty Optic - Fish Clay Perspex
Wednesday 21 & Thursday 22 October, 7.30pm
Faulty Optic | Fish Clay Perspex
Escape normality, suspend your disbelief and enter the magical world of visual and surreal adult puppetry.
World renowned for their haunting tales, strange animated figures and dark humour Faulty Optic presents the eccentric Fish Clay Perspex.
Small-scale and low tech Faulty Optic manipulates quirky and loveable puppets, miniature, armless, pointy-footed figures, clay, lagging, pens and plastic in this series of short, compelling character studies and free-falling observations from an unhinged mind. Highlights include falling beasts, battered clay, bendy legs, bad drawing, frantic scribbling and the comic scrabbling of a simple, guileless duo.
"You are plunged into a bizarre micro-world where anything can happen - and what does happen, however strange, seems perfectly normal." The Guardian
