Sara Sze uses everyday objects in her still life sculptures paying close attention to line and weight. She forces objects to interact with each other literally balancing them as lines would need to be balanced in a 2D picture plane. Her sculptures sometimes seem to be on the verge of falling in some places. It creates an tension for the viewers.

I saw the Adrian Ghenie show at Pace gallery in New York last Winter, I considered it the favorite part of my trip. His paintings looked like cake on the walls, then later after researching, I found out they actually were cake. The image above and others in the series were all hit in the face with pies. I enjoy the mix of representational, non representational, and collage.

Schutz series, self-eaters, was a number of paintings about self consuming humans something like the image above. I enjoy the works for the range of color Schutz achieves and the whimsical feeling they all hold.

When I first saw this piece I didn't like it. I thought it was a mess, it's a ripped canvas with cardboard and small items glued and taped all over it. But it is thoughtfully put together, which is why I am drawn to it. Something about its rawness makes you want to look at it longer, to figure it out. After a while I began to appreciate its nature.
