Mary Miss: An Interview

From her earlier sculptural work, Mary Miss has moved into concerns with illusion, distance, and perception. The work has grown to environmental scale and frequently uses both ancient and modern architecture as references. “A lot of things I do are illusionistic or have been almost like painting, like flattening something out while trying at the same time to give the experience of space. I’m interested in that very thin line that happens between these two different things,” Miss says in this interview with Kate Horsfield.
