Office Folk
"Office Folk" explores what happens when the spirit of ‘folk’ interrupts the usual expectations of an office environment. Bored office workers, who linger in the stock cupboard, find alternative uses for the tools and stationery they discover.
Employing makeshift methods, office workers mis-appropriate and adapt common place objects, to create escritoires (desk companions) to tickle, cheer and interrupt the daily grind. "Office Folk" is an exploration of what can be created under the cover of ‘office administration’, creating pieces of quiet rebellion.
