Thank You, Plastic (Cup Noodle) by Stickymonger re-imagines the familiar bodega bag as a surreal vignette of everyday life in New York.

Printed on recycled plastic, the convenience of plastic culture is contrasted against the pretence of environmental damage. The edition experiments with techniques of layering spot varnish upon the plastic, bringing realistic 3D texture to the opaque creases of the bag. A nonchalant girl eats her routine instant noodles - the consequences of her habits falling around her.

“Easily disposable, yet once lost, we notice the sense of absence of plastic because of the incompleteness.”

Stickymonger6 collaborationsStickymonger creates manga-esque portraits with subtle elements of surrealism. Young contemplative women pose in familiar settings – eating, smoking and exploring. In monochrome and pastel colour palettes, hazy textures are rendered in multiple layers of spray paint and acrylic. The artist also makes fibreglass sculptures, murals and large-scale vinyl installations. A range of influences inform her practice. In particular 19th century modernist Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico and Japanese anime from the late 1970s and 80s such as Galaxy Express 999 and Toward Terra. But above all, Stickmonger’s main inspiration is life itself – “I just want to capture these never-ending moments and feelings that inspire me.”

Absolutely gorgeous! I have admired Danielle McKinney's work and Shelter is exceptionally beautiful. The colors, the texture - I was delighted when I opened the box. The frame and floating presentation is also perfectly matched to the beauty of the piece. Also, well done on the shipping - it came thoroughly protected. Thank you!
