Art 21 Response

When I see Janet Olivia Henry's work, the words cultural adornment come to mind. 

Work #1 contains the element of space. Henry arranges many small plants, objects and a seated figurine within a limited platform, showing how space can be organized and filled. The backdrop makes the scene stand out, while the placements of items creates depth.

 Work #2 contains the element of texture. Henry used an array of materials, including beads shells, feathers, nuts, gems and more that create a rich layered surface. The top is densely packed while the bottom thins and gives the feeling of movement.

A Few of My Favorite Things

 1. Sunbeam Armstrong Moon Phase Anniversary Clock, West Germany - The prized possession of the center of my world. Just like her, the clock is in perpetual motion, creating a blur when captured. It marks every moment we spend creating life together, watching time pass has turned into beauty. 

2. West African Man Statue - A truly divine man, he called out to me. He said there was another way, so I listened with glee. He is wise and soft like a father should be. He may be just a statue, but to me he is more. Masculinity is a gift that can't be packaged or stored.  

3. Mother's Ring - With this ring, my mother said, "yes". A ring from a sunken treasure chest. Deep in the sea, down went the Atocha, stones and riches at the bottom of the ocean. The story of love that shaped my world, that a person would do anything to please their girl. 

4. "The Watcher" - She sits upon the mantle, observing it all. Her expression, unchanged, no movement at all. She does not judge but can clearly see. I can't help but wonder what she thinks of me. 

5. "Broken Hands Can Still Hold"- A pair of clay hands, broken and glued back together. 

6. Vase with Fresh Flowers and Water - Fresh flowers are a reminder of fleeting beauty, such is life. Clean water every day preserves them but cannot keep them from their inevitable fate.
