Peter Shelton's "Body" of Work in Oregon

THE OREGONIAN

Current installation at Portland Museum of Art

OREGON - Since the late 1970s, sculptor Peter Shelton has made work primarily about the body. Most obviously, his objects and installations invoke the body in formal terms, as he mimics the supple curvature of flesh or employs familiar structures as anatomical stand-ins, such as pipes for veins. But Shelton, who lives and works in Los Angeles, also conceives of his sculptures as objects to be interacted with, calibrated to produce a precise relationship to the bodies of viewers.  [link]
