Spark checks in on Syjuco as she exhibits the "Counterfeit Crochet Project (Critique of a Political Economy)" at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
Much of Syjuco's work deals with what she likes to call "improper ways of interfacing with capitalism" -- bootlegs, knockoffs, and otherwise reworked commodities, taking high-tech or luxury items and remaking them as low-tech and debased. She has used simple, cheap materials like foam core, contact paper, scrap wood, and glue to make cheap, non-functional replicas of expensive consumer goods like digital cameras, cell phones, and mp3 players.
These handmade designer pieces (that are really cute in my opinion ) are deconstructed mythes of fashion make us think at the importance we give to these accessories: we make them object of adoration. These are homemade counterfeits exibited ar Yerba Center for Arts and are by Stephanie Syjuco , visit her page.
