@ Riverside Art Museum
January 15–April 17, 2022
Drawn from a body of work decades in the making, William Catling’s mid-career retrospective is fueled by faith and a deep understanding of our universal need to find meaning within our lives.
At first glance, Catling’s work appears dark and heavy, but with patience the viewer will find that soon gives way to a powerful statement on the human condition, full of light and possibility.
Built with layers of clay, sometimes mixing bronze or branches, Catling’s work is a visual manifestation of human form and spirit.
