Jackie Ferrara | 274 Amyzip (sculpture and drawing) (1984) - Artsy

This paper examines 274 Amyzip (1984), a seminal work by American sculptor Jackie Ferrara that includes both a wood sculpture and an accompanying drawing. By analyzing its materials—stained poplar and colored pencil on graph paper—this study explores how Ferrara bridges the gap between sculptural form and architectural narrative. The paper argues that Ferrara’s "Amyzip" represents her signature "stepped" aesthetic, influenced by Mesoamerican architecture and mathematical systems, to redefine the viewer's experience of space.
