Sarah Sze, Triple Point, at Venice Biennale 2013
The artist Sarah Sze captured my interest and imagination when I first saw her work at the Museum of Contemporary Art here in Chicago. She went on to gain notice to the extent that she represented the United States in 2013 at the Venice Bienalle, an annual international art exhibition. View the images of her installation there and read the article posted in Wired Magazine by clicking here.
 Regarding drawing, she says,
         "I think of drawing in a much wider context — I think of it as the cursor on this page, the route you walk to work, the map I just googled for directions, or the print in the label in your t-shirt. I think of drawing as lines created in space, on the page, on a screen, or just mentally and emotionally to make sense of information or to convey information. So when artists draw it’s not about the page or the hand, it’s about connecting dots and the charting of complex information in whatever form that may take"
 Considering that Sarah Sze's installations are "sculpture" comment on the way you see drawing  as it relates to her artwork.
