Color Field Sculpture, at once corporeal and ephemeral, is delicate and airy. Sheers of powder coated mesh play in the changing light to describe the dichotomy between our physical and spiritual aspects, presence / absence, and the transitory nature of form."
Shelley Parriott

Exhibited in New York City, throughout the Hudson Valley of New York, the USA and Europe, Shelley Parriott's sculpture has received numerous honors and awards. Among these are a travel grant from the US Embassy Berlin, Germany, in connection with a three- artist exhibition at Berlin’s Max Planck Institute for Human Development, a Best in Show award at The Silvermine Guild Art Center’s prestigious Art of the Northeast USA competition, a "Lorenzo il Magnifico Sculpture Medallion" awarded by an international jury including Barbara Rose and Dr.John T. Spike at the Biennale Internazionale dell’ Arte Contemporanea, Florence, Italy, and support from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Her Color Field Installation at The Coral Springs Museum of Art is inspired by the luminous Florida sky.

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.

Barely incarnate polychromes of sheer mesh invent Color Field Sculpture as they shift and reconfigure in the changing light.
