2023 Amazon Artist in Residence
Henry Jackson-Spieker
“I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Seattle, focusing on sculpture and site-specific installations. I work with many different materials, combining glass, bronze, steel, wood, fiber, and light. My sculptures explore tension, balance and reflection through the merging of contrasting materials. My installations examine and question how society and community utilize and influence built environments by disrupting the viewers’ perceptions of space.
I received my BFA from Western Washington University and MFA of Sculpture and Dimensional Studies from Alfred University. I have Public art installations at Midtown Commons in Seattle, The Seattle Center, Method Gallery, and Wa NA Wari Gallery. I have taught glass blowing and bronze casting at Pratt Fine Arts Center for the past 7 years. I am currently making a site specific installation for the SAM Remix and working on an upcoming show at Mad ART Seattle in January 2023.”Â
