Escola is preternaturally gifted when it comes to picking up on people’s eccentricities and molding them into a beautifully Frankensteined creation.

Though the evidence may be imperceptible to the untrained eye, they also hold the memory of the earth from which they were formed and the traditional methods of molding and firing clay.

It was an opera house, and it was really there, with its baroque moldings and balconies sprawling out atop the Empire Polo Club stage at this year’s Coachella festival.

Then it went to the molding team, who 3D-printed the main shape of the puppet with fiberglass molds.

When they turned around for the first time, I was treated to a grotesque mask at the back of Tatarsky’s head and prosthetic cleavage that might have also been the plastic molding of butt cheeks.
