The typewriter revolutionized the way people communicated from the end of the 19th century until the end of the 1970s. Antique dealers have long sought them out, as well as some creative types who have spotted their artistic potential. Jeremy Mayer's stunning bird sculptures fashioned from typewriter parts are a wonderful example. The brilliant sculptor enjoys hunting for rusted-out typewriters at the stores near his workshop. Dismantling and sorting through all of its parts, he'll create a mechanical bird-shaped collectible object out of the parts that have been gathered through time.
The uniqueness of the American designer lies in the fact that he constructs these intricate sculptures without the use of any tools, glue, or welding. A diverse and fascinating assortment of birds, including swallows, crows, and a slew of others.
