Henry Jackson-Spieker is a multidisciplinary artist, based in Seattle, WA focusing on sculpture and site-specific installations. His work combines glass, bronze, steel, wood, fiber, and light. His sculptures explore tension, balance and reflection through the merging of contrasting materials. Jackson-Spieker’s installations examine and question how social and cultural norms shape the way we perceive and utilize space. By disrupting his viewers’ perceptions of depth and volume, Jackson-Spieker’s work challenges ingrained assumptions about our physical environments and the cultural codes they contain.
Jackson-Spieker received his BFA from Western Washington University and his MFA of Sculpture and Dimensional Studies from Alfred University. Jackson-Spieker currently has public artwork at Midtown Commons in Seattle and the Bellevue Art Museum. He has shown, MAD Art, San Juan Islands Museum of Art, Method Gallery, and Wa NA Wari Gallery.
