JOANNE STRYKER
risd connection: Dean of Foundation Studies;
Professor of Foundation Studies; at RISD since 1977
about her work: Joanne Stryker’s work explores
the nature of artifacts and human perception through paintings depicting
other works of art. Her two-dimensional interpretations of
three-dimensional form — sculpture, pottery, friezes — exploit
the interplay between various modes of perception, creating intricate
still lifes outside the confines of time, place or historical context.
“This kind of work is not just critically, but hermeneutically,
exciting,” notes art critic Laurence Murphy in Lit Journal.
“One form gazing upon another, rising over the horizons of time, creates
vital living energy as each work of art leads, suggests, points to the
creation of another. As deeply as one can look into the past is as far
as one can see into the future — and the result is a fathomless, inward
journey of depth.”
the road to risd: Stryker began teaching at
The Maryland Institute, College of Art in the late 1970s, after earning
her MFA there in 1977. She also spent a year teaching drawing and design
at Bowling Green [OH] State University’s School of Art before beginning
to teach at RISD part-time in 1978. Stryker taught for 12 years as an
adjunct faculty member in Foundation Studies and in 1990 accepted a
full-time position as an associate professor. She has served as dean of
the division since 1996.
