The Sculpture of Ann Fleming

Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture


"A Wild Hare " by Ann Fleming
11.5 x 7 x 22 Bronze Sculpture
Edition size of 35


Sometimes, especially in the spring, there is that wonderful urge that flows up through
our veins.... that itchy feet feeling.... that desire to taste life.....
"The spirit is really the bouquet of life. It is not something breathed into life,
 it come out of life." -Joseph Campbell
 


"Perfect Balance" by Ann Fleming

"How Far Love Goes"
by Ann Fleming
11.5 x 6 x 10.5 Bronze Sculpture

You'll fly away, but take my
hand until that day.
So when they ask how far love goes,
when my job's done
you'll be the one who knows.
- Dar Williams, "The One Who Knows"
 


"Warrior Woman" by Ann Fleming
12.5 x 18 x 3.5 Bronze Sculpture

22 x 19.5 x 10.5 Bronze Sculpture
Edition size of 35


And so it was that bear found her, naked and lost. "Come with me", his warm breath sighed, "for my future too is uncertain". And with hope she did not know she possessed, upon his back she climbed.

"Stirrings" by Ann Fleming
15 x 8.5 x 7 Bronze Sculpture

A cold day in winter... The kitchen is warm and comfortingly familiar. Hands follow the steps of a recipe as the soul floats freed by the timeless ritual of cooking. Dreams begin to dance.
 


"Silkie" by Ann Fleming
16.5 x 10 x 7 Bronze Sculpture
Edition size of 35

There is an Irish legend of the seal people who could shift between human and seal by shedding their sealskin.  They walk the earth for only a short time before returning to the sea.  While they in human form they can only make contact with one person.  If a man wants to keep a silkie woman, he must hide her skin.  If a woman wants to call to her a silkie man she must go to the beach and shed seven tears into the sea.

"The Mothering Way" by Ann Fleming
10.5 x 10 x 8 Bronze Sculpture
Edition size of 35

We become the total of our stories and we pass them along to future generations so that the richness and color of our tribe is not lost, but preserved.  And though as a modern woman I have forged a new path, I can still feel the thread that ties me to those who have gone before me.
