I've scratched the surface of Titus Salt's philosophies and the history of Queen Elizabeth I, but I know that it's Henson I want to study.
There's interesting elements in the lives of the other two and they both have a huge legacy behind them, but Henson has had a direct impact on my life, whilst the other two I don't have a direct relationship with.

Henson was a maker. I really like finding these odd 'behind the scenes' photos, revealing the magic behind the puppets and creatures he made. Above is a photo of Jim with Brian and Wendy Froud, working on creatures for The Dark Crystal.
I want to learn how Henson worked. How did he make the casts? How did the studio work? What was he like to work with?
Time Piece is a very early Henson production that I'd never seen before. It's his first short film and I think it reflects him as a person - obeying the rules of time but constantly questioning it.
Quietly doing his thing.
Being something more than just existing.
