Carpenter, Project Head
For this Italian opera, I had several projects that I worked on, but the primary of these was the statue of the Commendatore. The task was to create a throne-like statue that could be controlled by the actor, playing the role of the Commendatore. The unit was built out of lumber and was fitted with parts from a motorized
wheelchair. My task was to design and fabricate the adjustable chair needed so to fit the performer's needs, as well as several modifications masking most of the performers limbs as to create the illusion that the statue was larger than an actual human.
