Hotel Jerome

PEKOE LESLIE

PILLARS IN ASPEN

July 29 - August 2, 2024

Studio MAXIMA represented PEKOE LESLIE at the Aspen Art Fair in the historic Hotel Jerome in partnership with Soho House.

PILLARS IN ASPEN features found wood from the 2018 Lake Christine wildfire site between El Jebel and Basalt, Colorado. PEKOE LESLIE breathes new life into these elements of nature, which would otherwise be forgotten and left to wither due to human intervention and our own wrongdoings. This piece not only highlights the destructive impact of human activity on the environment but also serves as a testament to the potential for restoration and renewal. PILLARS IN ASPEN gives these materials a second chance at life and purpose, encouraging viewers to challenge themselves and reconsider the impact they want to leave on our planet.

Sold at auction to private collection.
