Some puppets are for meals, some are gifts for friends, and some are for sale. They start from ordinary shadow puppet recipes, but also search for new ones along the way. The bun is good for the taste, so is their Homemade Puppet.Artist - Sutarath Sinnong (Tom)Tom has worked in alternative media arts for 20 years, individually and with groups. She started learning and practising performance arts by cutting her teeth through theatre arts with Makhampom Theatre Group (1996 – 2011) and Gajidrid Theatre for Education Group (1996 – 2004). She practised various kinds of performance arts, such as children’s theatre, mask theatre, physical theatre, and puppetry, among others. Most notably, Tom uses theatre and performance arts as tools to facilitate learning for a number of issues - including but not confined to gender, sexuality, and media literacy.She founded “Homemade Puppet Group” in 2012 as a space to cultivate her puppetry skills, particularly shadow puppetry. Her works typically employ contemporary narratives. She was moved by the interplay of shadow and light, in the beautiful way these complementary elements can be danced to create charming and fascinating stories.Regarding shadow techniques, Tom does allow any rules or patterns to limit her creativity. It is often a hit-and-miss procedure she has to keep working on. But she does not neglect the message of the story. For her, it is ultimately about making an impact using the best techniques she has developed over the years.
