The circus is in town here in Toronto. Specifically, Cirque du Soleil is presenting a new show which features an other-worldly cast of fantasy characters that inspires the soul and fascinates the mind.
So too does the work of ceramic artist and puppet maker Kate Church from Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. We are overjoyed to present a sampling of Kate's magnificent one-of-a-kind work at Aura Collective starting today.
Kate's characters have come to the attention of the Cirque's artistic mindset, and the fit was so good that the company has licensed some of Kate's characters.
Kate's new pieces presented at Aura are classed as "Executive Toys" and feature a new cast of wonderful character puppets - from Birdee the groupie to Mad Harey (shown above) from her SHRINKS Series of characters. These are sensational puppets that delight the child within and challenge the creative spirit.
Sculptural puppetry as Kate calls it. With Christmas coming up, these puppets are a great gift for the bored executive or carefree person in your life.
Welcome to the family, Kate.
