Description:
Born in 1933 in South St. Louis, Missouri, Thomas Grant Lloyd was a trained architect, tourism consultant, world traveler, and self-taught outsider artist who later developed a distinctive craft career from his Washington, DC workshop. After years creating birdhouses, dollhouses, hand-painted cigar boxes, and furniture, a visit to a Paul Spooner automata exhibition in London inspired him to create hand-carved kinetic sculptures. Working primarily in wood, Lloyd combined architectural precision, engineering ingenuity, and humor to produce colorful automata featuring sumo wrestlers in imaginative scenarios. His work celebrates movement, storytelling, craftsmanship, and folk-art tradition. Shipping available, with handling discounted 50%.
