Heather Rasmussen
Bruised Fruit
January 24 - April 11, 2015
California Museum of Photography, Riverside
The California Museum of Photography presents work from Los Angeles-based artist Heather Rasmussen’s ongoing photographic series Compile. Shot in medium format film, Rasmussen’s pictures capture isolated moments of domestic and urban environments that ring with a sharp sense of color, texture, and a fragility that lends lightness to subject matter imbued with process: stacking, preparation, dilapidation, death, and overgrowth.
CMP Projects is an ongoing series of solo presentations curated by Joanna Szupinska-Myers, CMP Curator of Exhibitions at the California Museum of Photography, part of UCR ARTSblock. The series is partially supported with funds provided by UCR’s College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS) and the City of Riverside. The production of new work for Heather Rasmussen: Bruised Fruit was made possible in part by an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, New York.
