sean glass' first and oldest friend is his teddy bear, Teddy. Teddy used to have
a squeak-box inside. seanglass would squeeze teddy to make the squeaker
work. The two communicated via a secret squeaking morse code.
For the awkwardly precocious young boy, attempts to make friends were
mostly abysmal endeavors. The other children and even some adults labeled
him as "weird". Sadder still, kids in the neighborhood rejected Teddy. None
understood the secret squeaks.  Undaunted, the pair set out to create friends
that would be ideal companions for both.
sean glass made puppets that loved them. As his best friend looked on in
support, he crafted them a world. He wove a new reality with castles and
monorails from sticks, paper bags, fabric, buttons, old shoes, refrigerator
boxes, string, glue, old furniture and anything else he could find.  The
residents in their perfect community would say nice things to each other and
solve their problems diplomatically. Everyone looked out for the common
good. This puppet peopled paradise was their secret hideaway for many years.
Some time ago, Teddy lost his voice in a tragic bed-jumping incident. At first,
he was inconsolable and withdrew into himself. With the love and support of
seanglass and their puppet friends, Teddy slowly learned to communicate in a
language of shakes and nodding. The actual site of their ideal world has been
long dismantled. Their makeshift Utopia still stands in their hearts as a symbol
of friendship and  peace.
sean glass still believes in changing the world through his art. His love of
art-making with found objects continues. He and Teddy still make puppets
together. BFF.
