Art & Office: Staples

ART & OFFICE

In this edition of Art & Office the inspiration stems from staples!

The first work of art comes from Peter Root

Ephemicropolis 2010

100,000 Staples

Approx floor area 600x300cm


Stacks of staples were broken into varying sizes from full stacks about 12cm high down to single staples. These stacks were then stood up and arranged over a period of 40 hours.

What can you create with one of the worlds most common fasteners, the simple metal staple?
