stickies, 2011

Standard yellow stickie notes were fabricated in steel and bent slightly where the adhesive strip would be. Each one contains subtle folds mimicking the various undulating forms they take when individually stuck to a surface. Specially fabricated screws are countersunk into the wall with earth magnets inserted into the enlarged bit hole, the steel stickies appear to be ‘stuck’ directly onto the surface.

They are exhibited within the gallery space in sparse and realistic locations, with the potential to be mistaken as forgotten components of the installation process.

    Mounted on dibond, the free floating life size fly causes a schism in the truth claims made by certain “observational” documentary practices, euphemistically known as “fly on the wall.”
