Scope and Contents
This book contains 13 highly stylized puppets made from bent stiff cooper wire and silkscreened papercard cut elements that are held in place on the pages with papercard folds. These can be removed and manipulated by pulling on the wires to produce movement of the wire and papercard elements. These puppets have a child-like, surrealistic sensibility and are magnificantly engineered. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
