Paul Spooner
Famous English automata maker, Paul Spooner, started building his creations inspired by the work of Peter Markey. Since then, he has crafted mechanical toys and sculptures, exhibiting them in art galleries in London, Preston, Newport, and Falmouth. He showcased his work at the Eden Project, inside massive greenhouses in Cornwall that house plants from pristine forests around the world, where he built a large machine illustrating what the world would be like without plants, and a wooden arch that dispenses fruit and chewing gum. For the Modern Automata Museum, he created "The Bear and the Sloth" for the traveling "Circus" exhibition (v.). He has written and illustrated several books: "Spooner’s Moving Animals" for Virgin & Abrams (U.S.), "Museum of Mind" for the York Automata Museum, "Red Roger" for Bellew, London, "Mechanisms" for Channel 4 TV, "Anubis Divides the Ocean" and "Xanxi Drinks the Sea" for Andrew Lanyon, as well as films such as "Machinations: Mechanisms" for Channel 4 TV and "Made in Stithians" for C.M.T., both directed by Gary Alexander.
