Megan Harris is a puppeteer and puppet creator. Marco is her creation, via the text of Under the Poppy. These are Meg’s photos as Marco took shape in her hands, on her worktable, moving through her vision and skill into tangible life.

Marco is very soon to undergo a further, more emotionally drastic transformation – puppets change, of course, like people, when the forces are strong enough.

Meeting and working with Meg has been one of the greatest pleasures for me, in this project full of pleasures. Les mecs and Istvan would surely approve of her methods, as well as her ruthless, subtle, humorous artist’s eye.
