Description |
A native of West Virginia, David Riffle is recognized for his unique sense of place. He combines fantasy with realism as he communicates his perception of life along the Poca River in Putnam County, West Virginia. His work invites the viewer to enter his world and marvel at the recurring images of vines, fish, turtles and the Great Blue Heron. These images are often depicted in a dream-like environment which engulfs Riffle's trademark half-submerged trailer. "Natural Habitat" combines many of Riffle's diorama elements and images he created for his solo exhibition, "Riding the Vines: An Installation by David Riffle" at Sunrise Museum in Spring of 1998. |
