Jeremy Mayer’s typewriter sculptures are meticulously created.  He states:

“I disassemble typewriters and then reassemble them into full-scale, anatomically correct human figures. I do not solder, weld, or glue these assemblages together- the process is entirely cold assembly.”

Currently residing in Palo Alto California, he began working with typewriters in Iowa in 1994.

The above illustration depicts the image an atom. Jeremy’s interests in molecular engineering, biotechnology and science fiction are the  primary influencers behind his work.

He employs a progressive perspective on typewriters as a sculpting material.

“Though it is cold metal created by human hands, the typewriter is just as much a natural material as stone or wood.”

Animals and insects are some other anatomical shapes he enjoys making.

Jeremy doesn’t associate his work with the steampunk aesthetic, as his own style demonstrates a look and medium unique to most.
