The Creepion Uprising Automata

http://automataart.co.uk/default.aspx

This piece was commissioned by Menna Trinder-Widdess for her collection. The inspiration, for this piece came from an old film called "Asylum". It is made from maple, mahogany and american walnut. It is also designed to fit on a wall. I hope you like it as much as Menna.

I signed up to youtube just to be able to comment on this fabulous sight before me! This 'machine' is sooo Menna! No wonder she's so tickled! I cannot believe my eyes! This is like something out of your nightmares and your best dream all at once! I've got to say, the creaks and squeaks of the inner workings of the device are nearly as haunting as the beautiful Creepion trio themselves! I am mesmerized by this video, fascinated by Menna's mind - and awed by your craftsmanship! Just WOW! :)

@littlemissmissyboop I'm glad you like it, that's the point of them. This piece was a bit of a challenge, 15 moving parts working together. I did show it to a few people before Menna, and most of them found it quite scary, I think it is the dolls heads with a robotic body that does it. Anyway, thanks for the great comments, it's very rewarding. Tim
