• Jeremy crafts laminated paper jewellery from books he has personally read
• He encapsulates narratives and emotions into wearable art
• He cuts pages from books and compresses them into solid forms before carving them

Jeremy May enjoyed making objects in his father's workshop as a child and has always had a fascination with working creatively with paper. In 1999, he started working as a landscape architect, particularly enjoying the model-making aspect. For his first wedding anniversary in 2007, Jeremy decided to create a paper ring as a gift for his wife, which opened the doors to his current practice as a paper artist. He developed a unique process in which he cuts and compresses pages of a book and carves them into intricate wearable sculptures. In 2010, Jeremy transitioned to working full-time from his studio in Wimbledon, creating pieces for clients around the world. His work is featured in major museums including the Museum of Art and Design in New York and the Swiss National Museum. "Seeing my work in a museum was a defining moment: that was the instant I knew I was doing the right thing,” he explains.
