Not A Road Trip with My Pal, Time by Audrey Densmore

Audrey Densmore grew up in the San Fernando Valley. She earned her BFA at California Institute of the Arts, with a focus in puppetry and multimedia works. She began working with historic Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles in 2015, where she trained in marionette puppetry, and also learned technique from master puppet builder Eugene Seregin. Her illustration practice began as a child, and continues to be a thread pulled through every medium she endeavors. Twistable colored pencils, papier mache and a magnifying glass are some of her tools for unraveling threads of meaning, which often manifest into puppets.

During her residency at Automata, Densmore explored ideas around growth and transformation through vehicles like a spider’s web, the life cycle of a frog, or a 3-d zoetrope. Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn might have played a role in this evolution.
