The Stapling Effect
I’ve never seen such a thing as a mural made of everyday objects such as staples but somehow Baptiste Debombourg was able to achieve this incredible mural of Icarus Falling solely with staples.
Here’s the artist’s website for more information and views of his contemporary work.
I’m trying to envision the creative process he used to achieve the human figure (maybe a paper layout that could be removed once stapled or a projection, which would be easier) and the shadowing (staples closer together create a more dense impression). An interesting puzzle to solve.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
