Kent Henricksen, Playing with Feathers

October 1, 2007 to January 5, 2008
, Manhattan

Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.

Description:
Kent Henricksen’s Playing with Feathers, a playful-yet-disturbing, smaller than life-size bronze sculpture, has taken up temporary residence in Seward Park. The bronze, of a small figure covered in feathers, speaks to the integration of fantasy and reality, evoking both the playfulness of imagination and the disquiet of the strange and unknown.

Henricksen’s work is currently on view through October 6, 2007 at John Connelly Presents in "Divine Deviltries," the artist’s second solo show at the gallery.
