Artist Peter Root's Ephemicropolis is a wonderful cityscape composed of stacks of staples of varying heights.The work he creates regularly involves highly labor-intensive, mantra-like procedures of construction and assemblage. As well as being simple, playful experiments his work often touches upon themes of impermanence, repetition, structure, pattern, scale and architecture.
His work often takes the form of extremely fragile, temporary arrangements, with works subject to micro-apocalyptic events such as a light breeze or a falling leaf.
Roots interest lies in creating artwork that acknowledges and utilizes aspects of the world that surrounds him at times disregarding their intended or standard function: objects, technology, software, food, sound etc… and using these elements as starting points for exploration.
He uses various materials such as Potatoes to create city scapes, presenting us with Tim Burton-esque city scapes.
