I worked for three years as a Fabric Artist at a large scale kinetic sculpture studio in Oregon. As a member of the Fabric Team I helped fabricate iconic characters for Amusement Parks, Casinos, Cruiselines and Broadway shows. There I learned how to work with highly specialized materials to create durable, dynamic performance pieces.
This is not the extent of my work at the studio. Further images are unavailable due to Intellectual Property laws.
Earth News segment by Making Earth Cool, featuring “Ranky” puppet made by Darcy Sharpe.
Making Earth Cool is an artist collective that makes Earth News, as well as hosting events and parades to call attention to the climate crisis through positive action and appreciation for our earth. I built the puppet, “Ranky,” based on their animation, to explain ranked choice voting. (On screen at 1:36)
