Ride of Life

This was my first foray into the world of contemporary automata. Cabaret Mechanical Theatre were half way through production of The Ride of Life designed by Paul Spooner and Tim Hunkin, the alternative theme park for Meadowhall, Sheffield. The plug was pulled before installation, the rest is history.
