Low Rise by Peter Root
Low-Rise is a precarious assemblage of thousands of free-standing stacks of staples densely tessellated to create a city-like mosaic. Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in.

Nov 24th, 2009I just did a drawing of the LA skyline with the San Gabriel Mountains Where the mountains were made of staplers, and the buildings were made of staples. It’s great to see it in sculpture form!

Nov 26th, 2009That is so cool!! Although I must say you’re very brave to not glue them down or something – I would probably knock one over right at the end and mess the whole thing up :P
Aidy Adnan

Nov 26th, 2009i think that this is stupid and uncreative.
you didnt put much time into this, nor did you put much craft.
get over yourself and try thinking next time instead of just pulling rows of staples out and turning them on their side.
correct me if im wrong, anyone, but there is NOTHING to this

Nov 29th, 2009you can almost taste the cocaine residue on that table. if the ‘artist’ did that sober, one can only ask why
Brian Duey
Nov 29th, 2009Wow, this is so cool. It’s interesting to me when people use non conventional materials to create art. Cool post :)

Nov 30th, 2009staples are stuck together when you take them out of the box(pretty well stuck together too) so the stacks might fall but its not like there will be millions of single staples everywhere if it gets bumped, i do like it though
