"Sticky Situations" is a portfolio of 42 relief and silkscreen prints that draw upon “sticky” notes as their source material. I selected the source documents not only for their common format but also their content – all invoke situations that are literally or figuratively “sticky.” Some lists invoke physical stickiness while being emotionally benign (“maple syrup, water”); some carry a charge, such as that which reminds its writer to “call I.R.S.” (That could hardly be good.) Another note, found at a veterinary office, shows a crude drawing of a dog or cat sporting an ominous y-shaped sutured gash or incision. Collectively “sticky” and individually stuck to the wall in an unframed salon style, these enlarged versions of jottings ranging from urgent (“TAMPONS”) to light-hearted (“Cake in Fridge – Enjoy!”) reflect how contemporary humans are spending the most essential things we have – our time, energy and attention. Box dimensions: 15.5 x 15.5 x 1.5 inches.
