Liliana Porter, "Tejedora (Gris) / Weaver (Grey)," 2018, detail view; figurine, fabric and painted wooden shelf, 7 x 43 1/2 x 11 inches
Visual puzzles, triggered by a hallucinatory use of scale, are this artist's specialty. A great wash of cobalt paint covering a gallery wall appears to have its source in a minute statue of a man holding a paint brush. In a series called "Forced Labor," an inches-high figure of a knitting woman generates an oceanic pile of pink fabric.
