mia pearlman

I interviewed artist Mia Pearlman last Friday at her mellow studio in Brooklyn. Mia makes wonderful cut paper sculptures and this October will be in Slash at New York's Museum of Art and Design. She showed me a sample of the limited edition sculpture called VOLUTA, which will be sold at the museum shop during the exhibition. It's made of lasercut high-impact polystyerene and is an ingenious work of art, designed to delight buyers. Mia was a treat to interview, even if she is a diehard Mets' fan. At least, she's not for the crosstown team.
