b.1972
Born in rural northern Minnesota
He disassembles typewriters and then reassembles them into full-scale human figures, sometimes encasing them in clear casting resin. He does not solder, weld, or glue; the process is entirely cold, mechanical assembly. He also does charcoal drawings based on ideas about biotech and nanotech.
He is interested in time spent and the future. He uses CAD and 3D programs to do the studies of his drawings (backwards, He knows), which essentially are studies for sculptures that He 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 He is renowned for bullshitting . He was broke and bored when it all came to him. 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.
He tries his best not to fill the world with more contrived and saccharine shit. LINK
