Humanoid sculptures made from old typewriters
Jeremy Mayer makes large sculptures of humans and fanciful creatures out of dismantled typewriters.
The work of Mayer has, over the past 20 years, unfolded from a fascination with the relationship between the micro and the macro; this inspiration is manifest in his work viscerally, philosophically, physiologically, and sociologically. Having no formal training, Mayer has utilized skills learned in such varied fields as package design, stained glass restoration, and working with established sculptors on public art. He has created an iconoclastic body of work that ranges from sculpture using resin and disassembled typewriters to hyper-realistic drawings borne of ruminations about the future of consciousness in relation to technology.
