How we experience time and memory through art

Artist Sarah Sze takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey through her work: immersive installations as tall as buildings, splashed across walls, orbiting through galleries -- blurring the lines between time, memory and space. Explore how we give meaning to objects in this beautiful tour of Sze's experiential, multimedia art.

During the last week I’ve been drawing mostly flowers, motivated by a curiosity which has little to do with either botany or aesthetics. I have been asking myself whether natural forms–a tree, a cloud, a river, a stone, a flower–can be looked at and perceived as messages. Messages–it goes without saying–which can never be verbalized, and are not particularly addressed to us. Is it possible to ‘read’ natural appearances as texts? For me there is nothing mystical in this exercise. It is a gestural exercise, whose aim is to respond to different rhythms and forms of energy, which I like to imagine as texts from a language which has not been given to us to read. Yet as I trace the text I physically identify with the thing I’m drawing and with the limitless, unknown mother tongue in which it is written.

We have learned enough to know that the cliff is always there, and that to love is to choose and keep choosing.

I am trying to breathe humanity into this system — to breathe life into the grid. I think I have two vocabularies. There is a set of things that are objective, and there is the subjective vocabulary — the weird things, elements that are about feeling. I keep interweaving them and making them come close to each other. I want the work to feel like someone is trying to knit things together which, perhaps, should not live together. That process keeps me engaged in the studio.

Like a snake, my heart 
has shed its skin. I hold it here in my hand,
 full of honey and wounds.
