CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Tarish “Jeghetto” Pipkins, the puppet master behind the Jeghetto Puppetry Workshop, pulled inspiration from Ralph Chessé to put together his show-stopping act.
It was on display at the Harvey B. Gantt Center this past weekend.
The puppet performance includes a fascinating combination of art, history and mechanics to create a magical live experience like no other.
His main inspiration comes from Ralph Chessé, an African American artist whom the Gantt Center has featured in an exhibit entitled “Visions: A Study of Form,” which is available until July 23.
We talked with Pipkins about his puppetry. Watch the video above for more.
