Coleen Sterritt
2018
Griffith Moon is pleased to introduce Coleen Sterritt, a retrospective catalog published in collaboration with the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH). It showcases her work over a forty year period and includes an interview with artist Rochelle Botello and essays by Cooper Johnson, Carole Ann Klonarides, and Sue Spaid.
Sterritt’s hybrid sculpture evokes the interplay between nature, culture, and lived experience. Her source materials are pulled from everyday objects and elements. Plaster, tar, pinecones, fishing line, found furniture, and studio refuse are just some of the components she uses to construct and express her richly evocative formal language. Questioning the diverse possibilities of sculpture in both scale and form, her eccentric, abstract structures present strong polarities possessing a resonance at once familiar and obscure.
Dave Pressler: Idea to Object
2018
Whether it's drawing, painting, a sculpture, or animation, these works of art all have one thing in common: they started as someone's idea. Dave Pressler is an artist who has brought his ideas to life in all of these mediums, and his creative journey has been fully captured in this stunningly rendered 100 page book, "Idea to Object," which accompanied his career retrospective at the Lancaster Museum of Art & History in 2018. This beautiful hardcover demystifies the creative process, providing a peek behind the curtain of an artist's life and revealing that art is just technique and hours of hard work, attainable for anyone who wants to try. Created by Tony Pinto. The books are signed by Dave himself, and can be personalized.

Edenistic Divergence
Artists: Lisa Adams, Kimber Berry, Hollis Cooper, Rebecca Niederlander
2010
The landscape has been depicted by artists since ancient times. It was a popular motif amongst the Greeks and Romans, as the recent Los Angeles County Museum exhibition “Pompeii and the Roman Villa” demonstrated, and provided important background for religious and figural paintings up through the 15th Century. Dutch painters popularized landscape as a subject in the following two centuries, but it was not fully accepted as an independent genre until late into the 1700s. As painting techniques changed during the Industrial Revolution, so did landscape painting: it was less and less a realistic record and more and more a spiritual, optical, or formal re-interpretation. Now, landscape painting is a means for artists to express their fears and concerns about our increasingly stressed environment. In response to these fears and concerns, the painting, sculpture and installation work in Edenistic Divergence addresses the changes we anticipate to our landscape as a result of pollution, global warming and genetic tinkering, doing so through the contemporary use of color and material. Specifically, the landscape here becomes both subject and background for a symbolic re-creation of Eden.
