  This man and his work are absolutely charming. Him speaking as if he doesn't have redeeming qualities! Aw. <3

  Takes me back to Lancaster school of art and the large clock sculpture with wood block weights and ropes, probably 1965-66. A different time.

  I really love Mr Spooner's work, I've seen a couple of longer length documentaries of him, including your own, and it just makes me wish to meet him. He reminds me of Terry Pratchett in many ways.

  First saw your work at The AVM in Baltimore. If I weren't so lazy you would be a great inspiration to me. Wishing you longevity!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZEmf2Jidss&amp;t=68">1:08</a> actually yes auto means self . But mataa / menos means tortion or power in some way so it means that this thing creates it’s own tortion . Also you can think of the automata is the plural of automatic as you use it in English. It’s also means something happens right away .
