Artist To Know - Peter Root

Finding artists that create using everyday elements intrigue me. Todays artist to know creates amazing cityscapes with 100,000+ staples and small pieces of metal.

    Staple City is amazing! (But I don't think my boss would approve if I tried to build one at the tax office.)

    He is amazing. I watched the shadows as they moved across the floor of his work area - it was obvious that his staple city took many days to complete - along with a ton of staples. It is also obvious that Peter has a passion for what he does, that's why his work is so intricate and awe inspiring. Again all I can say is AMAZING !
