In 2012, Stilkey’s largest work of art, Discarded Romance, debuted in Hong Kong Times Square. This installation, which measured 24 feet high and 14 feet wide, contained more than 5,000 books. It was featured as the centerpiece of Full of Smiles & Soft Attentions in Hong Kong. Stilkey’s international reputation was boosted by this show. Andrew Hosner, of Arrested Motion, wrote that Stilkey’s work reflects a melancholic yet whimsical cast of characters with an aesthetic that is reminiscent of Weimer’s German expressionism. His subjects are ambiguous and convey a sense of longing and loss. Stilkey’s art reinvents the canvas to blur the lines between music, words and visual art.

Stilkey visited Houston within a week and began discussions about creating an installation that would include 5,000 books. In the summer 2007, the exhibition was opened.
