just put it down and backed out of the space,
squeezed out of the architecture
(those clamps actually do nothing)
built beyond its own capacity to support itself.
Blankets the architecture if you will
sculpture made out of paint.
Piece itself had a kind of behavior /
waxed and waned as you move thru it.

Initially drafted simultaneously with last week's snap, but revised later. No conscious attempt to combine into a sonnet, but perhaps they work together thus. In case you feel that you'd like to know more about the artist, this very polished interview should be useful:

Here's how I would combine the two snaps:
SARAH SZE’s
studio itself had become
a piece that had grown into the architecture,
ran into a Richard Artswager that was down there,
a car that I chopped up into 5 pieces,
how empty or full spaces--
sculpture, primarily gravity, levitated the piece.
