  • Some of the automatons I make in my small carpentry and wood sculpture workshop. At the moment these pieces have all been sold, so I had to recover the footage from some old videos I made for instagram, so they are vertical and therefore to adapt them to the youtube format, they are very enlarged.

Just an idea for you that I thought of when I watched the skeleton gardener watering his graveyard flowers, could you make a tableau painted with glow-in-the-dark paints? Turn off the lights and have a secondary story ready to surprise. Especially if not expected. Time for bed, turn off the lights, and “oh!” More magic. Thank you for you little treasures!

I'm interested in your process, not to try it, just as an artist who is fascinated by diverse thought processes. Such a good subject for videos.

      Oh my gosh, you just made me remember the automata of penguins swimming in the ocean near an iceberg that I made in... holy crap, 4th grade?!? It was really simple and made entirely of paper. Just penguins going up, turning over and going back down. The assignment was to make a diorama of a natural environment, and rather than just gluing some twigs and moss together to make a mini forest like all the other kids, I decided to make something more interesting. I know that the automata part of my project was _not_ part of the assignment. I think I got a lousy grade on it because I spent more time on making it than on researching the antarctic habitat, which was the underlying goal.

    The huntress reminds me of when I first watched Brave. It also reminds me a particular redhead bride from 'Say Yes To The Dress' who had lost her eyesight unfortunately. To help her appreciate herself in her wedding dress, the seamstress described her as a red fox in a forest covered in a blanket of snow. Magical, surreal and beautiful.
