"Parriott’s Color Field Sculptures are exuberant, exciting, exhilarating, and flat out beautiful!"

Caroline K. Burchfield

Parriott’s Color Field installations are monumental in size and visual impact, yet illusory. Installed in diverse interiors, landscapes, riverscapes, cityscapes, or gardens, they create colorful and compelling visions.

Each Color Field Sculpture is individually designed.

In a painterly approach to sculpture, shimmering multi-hued transparencies are layered to create prismatic patterns of color and light as one tinted form appears and disappears behind another.

Color Fields offer a participatory interactive experience for the viewer as people walk into, around and through multi-hued components.

"… Rarely does the concept of metal invite words such as ‘delicate,’ ‘airy’, or ‘ethereal’.

Yet, those are the impressions evoked by the works of Shelley Parriott …

The giant sculptures invite viewers to walk into them, to move through patterns of light and space."

Kathryn Boughton

Visually and conceptually, Color Fields simultaneously present a dichotomy and an integration between the corporeal and the ephemeral - our physical and spiritual aspects:

material / immaterial, being / non-being, and the transitory nature of form.

The beauty of these works is their ability to assert themselves without obscuring the marvelous views of land and riverscapes visible through the sheer mesh.

Parriott’s work is ethereal. Colorful wire mesh multiples interact with their surroundings, sunlight dances through the sculpture and beckons the viewer to take part.

Shelley Parriott’s Color Field: Rainbow II, has become a favorite in front of the courthouse on the east side of Park Square.
