Personal projects
When I get the chance I enjoy making more personal pieces. Each piece is based on a particular story that will have triggered the beginnings of an automaton. I get a kick out of the freedom these pieces give me to explore the craft further. Click on each automaton and hover over to find out about the inspiration for each piece.
