| About the Artist |
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 biotechnology and nanotechnology.
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 in turn are studies for sculptures that I have yet to make.
The typewriter pieces take about 1200 hours for a full-scale human figure.
