A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to present A Million Forgotten Hours, an exhibition of new work by the A.I.R. Fellowship Artist, Jessie Henson. This exhibition will be on view from January 10th through February 3rd, the opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 12th, from 5pm – 8pm.

A Million Forgotten Hours is an installation of sculptures made of stainless steel and found objects mimicking explosions of stars. These works focus on the tiny, abandoned, or neglected things of childhood - marbles and bouncy balls - and freezes them in mid-throw. Sourced from such places as eBay, second hand stores, the artist's own collection, and a defunct doll factory in Germany, this repurposing is both playful and haunting. Welded steel armatures create lines that swoop through space, holding up these small gems of bright color.
