Hortensia Masichievici-Mișu

She kept a tiny chisel in her pencil case long after she stopped sculpting in the round. Turns out her best “carvings” were the light-struck edges she drew on paper, turning flat sheets into shimmering grids—think the way a highway guardrail catches the sun but never casts a single shadow. Try flipping through the pages of her 1970 drawing “Miraj II”: you’ll feel the heat of asphalt without leaving your couch.
