About me
I did my first automata in the late 90s . ‘Cabaret Mechanical Theatre’ sold it for me, I was also offer a job in the theatre by Sue Jackson and his daugther Sarah. Before it closed I begun to own a living from it.
Since them I been working in one off pieces offent commissions by private collectors who will like a more personal work with there idea. And by public institutions like museums, that will need a donation Box or coin operated automaton for visitors. This automatons are base in the History or collection that the museum may house.
I am always happy to accept new commissions both large and small.
In the last 20 years I been commission by Museums, Public spaces and private collectors in Europe, Asia and America. See more
