"The structures are diagrams of thought that provide a glimpse of the strangeness beyond the world to which we cling; opening a place where thought becomes tangible, history leaves a trace, and information exhales form. Physical sensation and perception are interdependent and we sometimes wonder if what we are seeing is an indication of something outside of what we know or blood vessels coursing through our eyes. Material can never fully communicate thought, which makes these elaborate constructions more poignant in their attempt than they would ever be in their articulateness."

“And besides, the central problem-the enumeration, even partial enumeration of infinity-is irresolvable. In that unbounded moment, I saw millions of delightful and horrible acts, none amazed me so much as the fact that all occupied the same point, without superimposition and without transparency. What my eyes saw was simultaneous; what I shall write is successive, because language is successive. Something of it though, I will capture.”

Linda Fleming and Wolf at Red Rock dome..."Place has always been central to my work. It is not the subject of the work but provides the conditions that allow the work to exist. Cities supply a density of human activity and accelerated collective interaction with endless variations of form and nuance. The mountains allow time that is less human centric, while the desert is more vast and foreign than any space I have ever known; both open a glimpse into deeper versions of reality in a wild but gentle environment. Currently I have three studios that I physically built or renovated: Libre in Colorado since 1968, Wall Spring in Nevada since 1995 and The Brewery in Benicia, California since 2000. I spend as much time in each as I possibly can and am still heartbroken to leave one for another. Moving between these places heightens my perceptions, as if looking at shifting reality from many points in space with time unfolding at multiple speeds. Migrating allows the awareness of parallel, coexisting realities to emerge and that is the real subject of my work."
