Samson is a unique sculpture, he is showing off his muscles and tattoos.
I hand carved him in pine wood.
The mechanism is made from pine and recycle mahogany.
They are painted in acrylic and finished in waxed.
I am a sculptor and Automata maker and have been creating automata professionally over the last 25 years. I enjoy creating the playful mechanisms and sharing them. My work has been exhibited around the world in museums and galleries. I have made commissioned pieces for public institutions and private collections.
