Concept:
Staff Meeting reimagines the relationship between nature, repurposed materials, and the constructed hierarchies within our world. Using an old, weathered teapot as the foundation, a NZ tomato sauce bottle stands as an unexpected figure of authority, while snail shells, collected from my own garden and encased in resin, climb toward it with a sense of urgency and purpose.
This piece explores themes of leadership, collective movement, and the interplay between organic and man-made forms. The snails, moving in unison toward their leader, represent aspiration, routine, and the often absurd structures of power—whether in the natural world or human society. By transforming these everyday, discarded objects into a playful yet poignant composition, Staff Meeting invites reflection on the pace at which we follow, lead, and navigate systems of order.
Staff Meeting
My Shiny Perspective:
A relic from a forgotten kitchen, this once-loved tea pot finds itself at the center of an unusual corporate takeover. Perched atop is a classic NZ tomato sauce bottle, repurposed as the boss in charge, while the snail shells, carefully collected from my own garden and sealed in resin, ascend in eager anticipation. In this world, where nature and nostalgia collide, the snails are the dedicated employees, scrambling up to absorb every word of wisdom from their condiment overlord.
A whimsical commentary on hierarchy, communication, and the slow-moving chaos of meetings, Staff Meeting embraces the absurdity of leadership structures—whether in nature or the office.
