“I Make Monsters” was my senior capstone project at William Jewell College.
The goal of this project was to create a costume that combined human and animal form in order to create a visually confusing and intriguing sillhouette. It would then be performed live on campus, virtually announced, simply interacting with students to and from class.
The project was a success, coming in on budget, and provoking social media attention.
You can see more of this bird, named Elliot, on TikTok, where they have achieved some fame. Below, you can see the construction from beginning to end.
