Typewriter Sculptures

Sculptor and illustrator Jeremy Mayer started working with typewriters in 1994 while living in a small town in Iowa. Mayer believes the typewriter is a product of nature - it was designed by minds immersed in nature around them, and mimics the curves, geometry, and physical processes abounding in nature. Though it is cold metal created by human hands, Mayor believes the typewriter is just as much a natural material as stone or wood.

Mayer disassembles the typewriters and then reassembles them into full-scale, anatomically correct human figures. He also creates animals and insects from typewriter origins.

What is particularly amazing: he doesn't solder, weld, or glue these sculpture together - the process is entirely cold assembly.

Jeremy Mayer has created a variety of other cool sculptures and illustrations. Visit his website at:
