"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 the patterns of light and space."
-Kathryn Boughton
The Litchfield County Times, Litchfield, CT
"Parriott's materials convey the nature of passage. In the polarity of lightness and weight, the not -at-all compact appearance of Parriot's materials turns into a transmission belt opening up the mesh of spiritual experience."
-Michaela Nolte
Journalist, Berlin, Germany
Max Planck Institute for Human Development

-Erica Freudenberger

"Color Field Sculpture brings to mind the words of painter Jules Olitski, who expressed a desire to 'paint the sky' ... to experience the lyrical or atmospheric effects of vast expanses of color, and by suggestion, go beyond them into infinity."
