The Valley
Mixed-Media Mural
Silicon Valley Mural
It is by learning from our past that we can confidently look to the future. It is this duality that leads us to two distinct yet connected works of art. Community, a multi-media wall, showcases the history of technology from The Valley. A human gesture celebrating the archives. Each element of this mural showcases the spirit of Silicon Valley, conveying historical partnerships and disruptive innovation. The narrative is told through the selection of materials, old advertisements, and illustrations that are representative of human touch and craft.
The mural is set off the wall on 4 unique stains of wood that make up an abstract map of the region. Next is a layer of custom topography line-work that was designed to feature major historical centers of innovation. After working with the brand’s archivist unique designs were created from the content in order to tell the graphic story through a rip-n-stick collage.
Concepted, designed, and installed while at Acrylicize in collaboration with Sean Williams
