Very unique work w/ a nice cyberpunk feel...


"...I disassemble typewriters and then reassemble them into full-scale human figures, sometimes encasing them in clear casting resin. I do not solder, weld, or glue; the process is entirely cold, mechanical assembly. I also do charcoal drawings based on ideas about biotech and nanotech.

I'm interested in time spent and the future. I use CAD and 3D programs to do the studies of my drawings (backwards, I know), which essentially are studies for sculptures that I cannot afford to make. The typewriter pieces take about 1200 hours for a full-scale human figure.

Any long-winded tirades about recycling or nostalgia for mechanical machines would be absolute bullshit, and I'm renowned for bullshitting . I was broke and bored when it all came to me. The romantic high ideals that people have about art are moronic. Art is a disease and a curse if you do it for the right reasons.

I try my best not to fill the world with more contrived and saccharine shit..."

People keep telling me to find a way to make things that take less time and that I can sell more of. Your planet is still so strange to me. Do things because you love to. Share it with your friends. Everything else is waste..."
