Sarah Sze is an artist who uses humble materials to create strikingly
original sculptures and astonishingly intricate site-specific
installations. Her works, each of which she constructs by hand,
transform everyday objects into gravity-defying works in horizontal and
tower-like formations that zig-zag into the heights of the rooms that
try to contain them. The pieces often seem to teeter on the brink of
existence, built just at the edge of their ability to sustain themselves
structurally. This seeming ephemerality conveys a sense of the fleeting
existence of objects, situations and places. This book is the first
monograph to include works that span the course of her career and
includes images of both her sculptures, installations as well as her
drawings.
