In 2021 I was commissioned by California's Ismay Music to make a crankie* for a music video based on the folk song, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie. I reinterpreted the song to be about the death of a horse instead of a cowboy. I also included cowboys of diverse race, gender, and ethnicity  in the piece, which have been often underrepresented in Amercan films. This piece was an exciting exporation of new shadow puppetry techniques which I had time to focus on learning this year. The music you hear is Ismay and the video was filmed and edited by Baltimore's Julia Golonka. 

* A crankie or moving panorama is an old fashioned form of visual performance, device. It is a hand cranked scroll in a box. The artwork is rolled around two posts, which is then pulled across the front, much like film in an old camera. This crankie combines papercuts and shadow puppetry.
