| seanglass' 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. Not that anyone ever tried. Undaunted, the pair set out to create friends that would be ideal companions for both. seanglass 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. seanglass 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. |
