Art Shows at La esquina

CURRENT

Through collecting objects, accumulating stitches, lines or circles in drawings and sculptures, Jessie Henson creates worlds to exist within. Her works attempt to negotiate the fragility and mystery of the world, while searching out the sublime and the possibility of wonder. Henson has exhibited nationally, including in New York, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. She was an artist-in-residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, Nebraska, a Create Change Fellow at the Laundromat Project in New York, and has participated in the AIM program at the Bronx Museum of Art. She has also been a resident at the Vermont Studio Center, supported with a full fellowship by the Joan Mitchell Foundation. In 2010 Henson was commissioned to create a memorial sculpture at the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio. The artist lives and works in New York City.
