Linda Fleming is an artist best known for her large-scale sculptures that deal in space and transparency. Space Lace consists of large concentric steel rings that encompass four elongated cubes. When lit by the sun or streetlamps, the overlapping steel bars create shadows and patterns that become essential parts of this sculpture, suggesting dynamic movement in a static form. Space Lace reveals, on the intuitive level, a new world to the viewer. The reality of the physical world and the mysteries of the universe are brought together through the vision of the artist. Fleming says her works “hint at the co-existence of the mundane and the cosmological where two realities simultaneously exist, including the possibility that the past is also present.”
