Shelby Fleming

Outdoor Sculpture

The human body is the center of Fleming's cross-disciplinary artistic practice: whether it is abstract or representational, her work revolves around the body’s fragility and resilience as it faces internal, external, or psychological factors. Many of the patterns and structures in my sculptures transform and draw inspiration from microscopic images, highlighting the 37.2 trillion cells that work endlessly to make us who we are, for better or worse.
