Sarah Sze's sculptures are flowing structures consisting of an accumulation of small-scale household items that respond to and infiltrate the surrounding architecture. Her compositional language takes form by successively linking small pieces of discrete information into a complex network.
Sze's sculptures are essentially installations; they resemble the interiors of rooms, vast landscape s and even galaxys. The found objects that Sze uses evoke memories and thoughts in the audience as well as personalising the piece. Personally many of Sze's sculptural installations remind me of my childhood days of playing with Lego and poly pocket, as well as the universal construction that occurred in Douglas Adams (film) The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Sze's use of space is extremely varied in each sculpture she creates: ranging from intricate sculptures filling small closets that one has to peep in through the door to vast spirarlling vertical sculptures that stretch several levels high.
