Clare Hermon — Wooden 'Story Telling' Stool #1, 2024
$560
Story Telling Stools embodies the timeless exchange of wisdom, humour and lessons passed down through spoken word. Each person on each seat holds a different story, and each story is a connection to the past. You are invited to sit on the stools, with friends or strangers, and tell a story of your past. Listen, reflect and continue the narrative.
Our ability to create, tell, and retell such stories is an important part of both our survival as a species and our daily lives. Most evolutionary biologists agree that storytelling became hardwired into our human brains because it served a practical function necessary for survival. Storytelling enabled early humans to piece together useful information, to pass on details about tool-making, hunting and gathering, and to synthesise oxytocin which fosters social units cultivated by a cooperative spirit and enabled humans to develop social units, organise systems to manage them, and establish morals to guide them.
