The Riverside Art Museum is proud to present "Stuck to the World", sculpture and works on paper by Los Angeles artist Coleen Sterritt. This exhibition will be presented in the Art Alliance Gallery of the Museum in conjunction with an exhibition of works by Bay Area artist James Patrick Finnegan. Coleen Sterritt formulates sculptures out of myriad distinct segments. Incorporating recognizable found objects (something new to her sculpture) with wood objects of all kinds, from construction scrap to pinecones, Sterritt's work can be described as organic abstraction. To various extents Sterritt’s sculptures seem functional, but never quite reveal what they’re supposed to do. Rather, they brim with possibility, with poetic metaphor, and with the ever-present threat of entropic dissolution, a coming-apart of their components. Sterritt’s works on paper bear a significant formal and spiritual connection to her sculptures, although the paper pieces do not serve as studies for the three-dimensional. Both bristle with suggestions, of the human body, of tools and tables, of machines and furniture, of things as they are and as they appear to us in dreams. Artist-critic Julia Couzens writes that "[Sterritt's] art has come to challenge us to understand her visual language not only on the referential level, but also, like life, on that of the poetic, the contingent, and the ephemeral.“ Coleen Sterritt received an MFA from Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles in 1979. She has since received many distinguished awards, including a California Artist Fellowship from the J. Paul Getty Trust Fund for Visual Arts in Sculpture and an Artist Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Over the past three decades Sterritt’s work has been exhibited nationwide, and is included in many public collections, among them the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento; the Carnation Company, Los Angeles; Capitol Group Companies, Los Angeles, New York, and London; and the Scripps College Collection, Claremont, CA. The Riverside Art Museum, located in downtown Riverside, occupies a beautiful historic building designed and built by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan. The Mission of the Riverside Art Museum is to serve the various communities and diverse populations of the Inland Empire by providing visual art of the finest quality.
