Biography

Henry Jackson-Spieker is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seattle, WA, focusing on sculpture and site-specific installations. His work combines materials such as glass, bronze, steel, wood, fiber, and light. Jackson-Spieker's sculptures explore themes of tension, balance, and reflection, merging contrasting materials to challenge societal and cultural norms that shape the way we perceive and utilize space. By disrupting viewers' perceptions of depth and volume, his installations interrogate ingrained assumptions about physical environments and the cultural codes they contain. Jackson-Spieker received his BFA from Western Washington University and an MFA in Sculpture Dimensional Studies from Alfred University. His public artwork can be seen at Midtown Commons in Seattle and the Bellevue Art Museum, and he has exhibited at venues such as the MAD Art in San Juan Islands, the Museum of Art, Method Gallery, and Wa NA Wari Gallery.
