Jessie Henson: Everything Comes Next

Using an industrial sewing machine, Jessie Henson builds on the language of postwar American abstraction, while writing a new chapter in the long history of embroidery. Her Riley CAP Gallery exhibition features a selection of sewn paper works in vibrant colors, alongside several small bronze casts made from found embroideries that nod to her interest in the possibilities of thread.
