Showing from Feb. I to Feb. 28 at Disjecta, Paige Saez will present her
new w orks on which she doctors old medical file stickers into informal
geometric shapes that resemble floor plans, cruise ships, cityscapes or
robots with a limited color pattern o f red, white and black. With sparse
architecturally inspired designs o f stickers and enamel, Saez’s work
emanates a muted comm otion o f mechanics and mathematics that
appeals to both material and spatial sensibilities. There will be an
