David Henderson  www.davidhenderson.org	David Henderson's recent sculpture addresses formal mathematical issues while also exploring a childhood fantasy about space travel. When Henderson was a boy, an eccentric uncle gave him a science-fiction book about building space ships and exploring the galaxies, a theme which continues to inform his elegant sculpture. A review in The New Yorker referred to earlier work as "space age Brancusi's". The subtle variations of the edges, the finish, and the material of the sculpture calls to mind Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese aesthetic philosophy representing the beauty or perfection of imperfection. Henderson calls it "surface richness." This is a conscious foil to the geometry of his work. "The physicality of the objects can never compete with the perfection of a curve." Henderson has worked in New York since the '80s. He has a BA from Bard College and an MFA from Columbia University and currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Kate Teale, a painter.
