About

** This piece is no longer on display. Please see our Retired Public Art Installations page for more information.

Necklace, a sculpture composed of three separate panels of overlapping and interwoven strips of metal, seems two-dimensional when viewed from the front, but in fact there is a small cement area created by the placement of the panels where a viewer could walk or stand. This allows the viewer to be surrounded by the sculpture. Inasmuch as the shadow cast is a part of the sculpture, by altering the way light falls and by receiving the shadow of the sculpture, the viewer becomes a part of the sculpture as well.

Year Completed: 2000

Artist Bio:

Linda Fleming is a sculptor whose intricate drawings and large-scale wood and metal works create places composed of air much as material; places of shadows and light where the viewer can sometimes become a participant by entering the sculpture. She is one of the founders of Libre, a community of artists in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, where she continues to maintain a studio that she single-handedly built.
