Have you thanked your mother lately? These babies are all made from used plastic bags that say “thank you,” they are stuffed with bubble wrap that I collect from downtown Olympia businesses, and are held together with tape. Aren’t babies wonderful? My sons ate Wonder Bread for awhile, and so I saved those colorful plastic bags for my recycled art projects, including an on-going series of Wonderful Babies (one of which is part of the Henry Gallery’s Big Bang Birthday Bash).

Meanwhile, Mark Jenkins, the God of tape sculpture, is mentioned in an article about Banksy in this week’s New Yorker.
