    ProjekTraum l’atelier Glidden Wozniak is proud to present the drawings of sculptor Jack Henry. Terraforms is a series of recent graphite drawings whereby the landscape reveals itself to Henry as he responds to the chaotic remnants of an initial collage process of gluing and tearing the paper away. His methods are similar to his approach to sculpture where he builds geometric forms composed of detritus from the streets of Brooklyn. Jack Henry will talk about his work at the opening reception on June 30 at 19:00. This is Jack Henry’s first solo exhibition in Europe.

    Jack Henry was born in 1984 in Jackson, MS, USA and raised in the suburbs of Flint, Michigan. He received his BFA from Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton and his MFA from University of Maryland, College Park with a concentration in sculpture/installation. His work has been shown throughout the US including recent shows at Lesley Heller Workspace, New York; Black and White Gallery, Brooklyn; Storefront Bushwick, Brooklyn; Dodge Gallery, New York; Nudashank, Baltimore; Fjord Gallery, Philadelphia; Space Gallery, Portland ME; Glass Curtain Gallery, Columbia College, Chicago; La Esquina Gallery, Kansas City; Kunsthalle Galapagos, Brooklyn; Ground Floor Gallery, Brooklyn; Castle Gallery, College of New Rochelle, New York; Radiator Gallery, Long Island City. His work has been written about in the Chicago Tribune, the L Magazine, Hyperallergic, Beautiful/Decay, ArtFCity, New American Paintings, Philadelphiaweekly.com. Jack Henry has lived and worked in Brooklyn, NY since 2010.

    Mooring Exhibition Statement & Images – Earnhart / Lightner

    Mooring Artist Statement

    Zeppelin Airships, blimps and dirigibles have a storied history within aeronautics and popular culture.  There is the immediate fascination with the matter of scale these vessels inhabit and the gigantic infrastructures required to keep them afloat.  These containers of an invisible gas lighter than air, swimming to destinations, have fascinated and enthralled generations.  The impetus for this exhibition is within this invisible volume and the notion of lighter than air which is easier to experience than describe.

    The title Mooring denotes an action of fixing to a point, a measure of controlling an entity by means of gravity, mass and machine. This control exists in an attempt to mitigate unwarranted interaction with other bodies.  Mooring makes use of tethered strands, which individually are no match but when used in concert can exert and withstand tremendous forces.  This action is applied when the vessel is surrounded by modes of fluctuation, an inconsistency of depth, position and stability.

    Mooring also describes the adherence to a moral framework. This fixed point helps to define the moral compass of a people and is evident in the trajectory of progress. As a society, we have the capacity for adaptation to our ever changing environments that gives the same stability of tethering to a mast. Though invisible, this framework reveals the outliers and flaws within the whole. But it is within the collective steering that change is possible while maintaining integrity to preserve the future
