     Sarah Sze has been at the forefront of installation work since she started in the early nineties. She is the queen of the everyday materials; having a way of both highlighting the everyday quality of materials and making her viewers forget about the original purpose of each item. Taking things that are mass produced and easily purchased, she is able to make these overwhelming, detail oriented worlds that captivate her viewers from the tiniest screw to the vehicle chopped in half, hanging off of a ballister.
     At the end of last year, Sze did something a little bit different even for herself, she started to work with two dimensional images in relation to her full scale installation works. In her Infinite Line show, Sze was successfully able to extend the lines of both three dimensional and two dimensional objects in relation to one another as well as the context of the space and the viewer standing before it. With this show, she is most intrigued by perception, the ability of her audience to have different viewpoints of her work; at once you see the larger sculpture, at other times you zoom into the tiny details all the while that focus is changing the way in which one perceives the work both compositionally and spatially. Her viewers can delight in once again being treated to something so special. Even though she is working with found materials, the way that she installs her work seems to be so delicate and thoughtful, everything is in its place and is in conversation with everything around it.
