Making these octopus puppets and their art studio for the window of Minotaur Games and Gifts was some of the most fun I’ve had in ages. Living under the threat of a pandemic has made me feel like I’m moving in molasses, and for the longest time, I found it hard to find the motivation to do much of anything. Making this window display for Minotaur helped me move out of the mental thickness of covid life, and I once again feel energized and able to focus. My daughter was a huge help on this project, making it extra fun and rewarding. Arno-the-Octopus likes to work in a variety of mediums, so check the window throughout the summer to see what art making he gets up to.
