As a co-founder of Animus Arts Collective, David Ort creates large scale sculptures and installations. Since its inception in 2007, Animus has received grants from The Department of Transportation of NYC, the Greenwall Foundation and the Black Rock Arts Foundation. In addition, from 2008 on, David has worked for Randy Carfagno Productions (a master puppeteer/puppet builder) to design and fabricate puppets, sports mascots and animatronic costumes for film, as well as props for stage and television. Also included in this portion of the portfolio are photographs of installations at events produced by IlyaP.
