The Work of Travis Jones

Travis Jones is a Vancouver visual artist actively creating fabled worlds, within the mediums of puppetry, set design and props. As a self-taught artist, Travis has continually succeeded in bringing his audience closer to his perception of a mythological unverse. travis's last installation blended the curiosities of the sideshow performance with that of gigantic puppets. Audiences were thrust into a bedazzled universe of embelished set peices and seven foot tall marionettes animated by four puppeteers and led by one crafty Ringmaster. Exposed to an estimated crowd of thirty thousand people, this puppet performance filled an entire city street block. Travis has worked professionally for Public Dreams Society, Push International Perfoming Arts Festival, The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret, In The House Festival and Still Moon Arts Society, as well as having solo shows at the Vancouver East Culture Centre and the Memelab.
