ARTWORK: SILICON VALLEY (2022)

SILICON VALLEY

Needlepoint canvas and wool, 11 inches x 24 inches (34.5 cm x 60 cm), 2022

On June 5 2019, a large commuter bus for Apple employees caught fire along Interstate 280 on the Peninsula Wednesday morning, sparking a two-acre wildfire. The double-decker bus was traveling southbound on I-280 near Portola Valley. Steve Jurvetson took a now iconic photograph of the incident and documented the bus’ destruction. We turned that photograph into a framed needlepoint artwork. Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery in which yarn is stitched through a stiff open weave canvas. Incidentally, needlepoint is the oldest form of canvas work.

ARTWORK: GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT

We're happy to share our latest project. Gross Domestic Product is comprised of twelve miniature sculptures (layouts) made of wood and resin. This series is part of COLLEO' s ongoing exploration of trashscapes, i.e. the aesthetics of garbage in contemporary society, which includes CARSCAPES (2017) and YOU'RE IN A WONDERFUL COUNTRY (2016)

According to Joseph Beuys, everyone is an artist. COLLEO believes that everybody is a sculptor: waste is the artwork we produce on a daily basis. It's a genre of street art: trash is literally everywhere you look. It is known as litter, rubbish, garbage. On average, European citizens produce 480 kilograms of waste each year. In 2016, Danish produced 777 kg, Italians 495 kg (Source: Eurostat, 2017).
