01
Artifact Overview
Animals of all sorts, usually in action poses, are the subjects of Shelley Muzylowski Allen's sculptural work. Using her background in anatomy and fine arts, combined with her work for the acclaimed glass artist William Morris, Shelley creates contemplative sculptural vignettes with hot glass. Her signature coloring and textural surfaces intrigue the viewer into questions of just how she achieves her subtle effects.
