Paul Spooner: One man and his cogs

This is a great article from a few years ago that appeared in the daily newspaper The Observer originally published in September of 2004.

The British Automata-master, Paul Spooner, is the focus of the article around the time of his solo show entitled A Day at the Butcher's.

I really appreciate this story for several reasons:

1. Descriptions of Spooner's work


2. Spooner's own thoughts about his creations


3. Good money is being paid for good artwork
   (Here's a currency converter for those not used to Pounds.)


4. A bit of history about the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre (to whom all contemporary automata lovers owe a debt)
