Jessie Henson

New York-based artist Jessie Henson will make her Broadway debut with See What the Sun Thinks, an exhibition of new works in our Project Room.

Working with an industrial sewing machine and gold leaf on paper, Henson approaches her abstractions with as much muscle as grace. As the tightly nestled and brightly colored thread accretes across the surface in clusters, the paper buckles and contorts adding a sculptural dimension that is echoed by the reflectivity of the metallic leafing.
