Seamless 1999 Sarah Sze

The work includes functional, human objects, such as ladders and buckets. Other handmade elements, such as a small bridge made of matchsticks, used by Sarah Sze include inexpensive, everyday objects that connect the work to contemporary consumer culture. Its structure and shape relate to constructivist, abstract art that reflects the modern industrial world. Using proportions associated with fictional miniature worlds, the spiral structures also suggest the microscopic scale of molecular science. They resemble the double helix shape of DNA, the molecule that determines the growth and reproduction of all living things.

Sarah Sze uses almost worthless things - common, mass-produced, easily accessible, easily replaceable - and puts them in a position to make and juxtapose them in ways that they seem valuable, which gives them a strong translation.

What I also make in my own work is essentially creating everyday objects, such as tables and chairs, miniature models made using inexpensive wood panels, elements that have relevance to the everyday objects, miniature worlds, etc. in Sarah Sze's work. But my work is more realistic and I am trying to generalize them better and learn to use a more abstract approach.
