Monika Stricker

Monika Stricker graduated in 2005 from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where she currently lives and works. Her tactile sculptures, including her installation Wisteria (2008) at the Clages Gallery in Cologne, incorporate feminine references: silky fabrics, clutched by a female mannequin’s hand, and a curtain of knotted pink nylon. Playing with the stereotypical representation of female hysteria, she makes ironic reference to feminine interiors, namely those of the “Desperate Housewives” who live on Wisteria Lane.
