Puma, The Triptych of Dr Moreau' by Suzi Battersby

Puma, The Triptych of Dr Moreau' by Suzi Battersby, BA (Hons) Technical Effects. Suzi says of this work "My final project, ‘The Triptych of Doctor Moreau’, was a play on the H.G. Wells novel and the Hieronymous Bosch painting, ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’. I created three full creature suits involving silicone masks and fabricated body suits and then arranged a photoshoot on a mountain in Wales to tell the story of the novel through photographs. I then composed them all together to create my own version of the triptych which was exhibited along with the masks of the creatures I had made. One of the creature suits, ‘Puma’, was a finalist in the 2013 World of Wearable Art competition in New Zealand, which I had entered after their representatives came and spoke to us at LCF. With the university’s support I attended the event in Wellington, New Zealand and my creature suit was exhibited in their museum for a few months afterwards." Suzi is now working on Star Wars and the new Ridley Scott movie.
