Hindwoods: Monster Seeking Solace in Beautiful Music
$275.00
Hindwoods is a character with a complex and haunting identity. Once male, then female, Hindwoods is now an "It" — a Monster struggling with its own identity in the face of a troubled past that has grown overwhelming and maddening as time races toward an inevitable end. Despite knowing everything that has happened before and being driven mad by it, Hindwoods has found solace in a Garden where it has heard the most beautiful music ever made in the Land. In this sanctuary of sound, the Monster finds brief respite from the weight of memory and the chaos of transformation.
The Land of Odd
Hindwoods exists in the richly imagined Land of Odd, a world inspired by Brian Froud's Podlings from The Dark Crystal. Unlike the earthy tones of Podlings, the Oddlings celebrate a kaleidoscope of colors and diverse personalities. The Land is home to diverse communities—from Desert-dwellers to Underwolders, Aeyriekin to Swamplings, Oceanics to Forestkind—each with their own cultures, beliefs, and traditions.
The Craft
Each Hindwoods marionette is handmade in Australia by The Squeaking Tribe, featuring a sculpted clay head with hand-painted details, a unique Eyelander costume made from specialty fabrics and collected materials, and professional 6-string marionette controls. Standing 25cm tall (60cm when strung) and weighing 0.6kg, each piece is unique with its own story told through carefully chosen textiles, jewelry, and distinctive details.
