PRESS RELEASE
Madeleine Terry
Treasures of the Spirit
May 5 – June 9, 2018
Haley-Henman at Open Studio 516
516 Fabrication Street
Dallas, Texas 75212
DALLAS, Texas (April 3, 2018)—Haley-Henman proudly presents the open studio of Madeleine Terry, titled Treasures of the Spirit. These artworks by Terry have been greatly anticipated because of a hiatus in her work due to an injured hand. Her process is very much a hands-on approach. We are very pleased to see how she has recovered and recaptured her creative spirit in these new mixed media sculptures that use natural gourds as the primary material and source of her inspiration.

Terry is a conceptual artist. She has a wide-ranging sculptural scale in her new body of work, and we look forward to upcoming presentations of these new works. For this open studio, we have selected an intimate, small scale. These sculptures emphasize details that are significant to the overall form. In that sense, each element contributes to the narrative of meaning and value. The leitmotif concerns connections to ancient cultural wisdoms. She is deeply influenced by our indigenous peoples, yogic practices, and Buddhist teachings. Terry uses these references to make connections from the past to the present.
The studio will be open for Terry to receive guests on Sunday, May 6 from 2-5 pm. A conversation with Terry will be on Saturday, May 12 at 1 pm. Other visits to the studio are by appointment only, call or text 214-532-3225.
Haley-Henman at Open Studio 516 is located at 516 Fabrication Street in the Trinity Groves neighborhood being developed. Due to the construction, roads at times will be closed. Please check the website www.haleyhenman.com for updates, or call or text 214-532-3225 for more information.###
Henry Biber
Shapes of the Void
NEW DATES
May 19 – June 30, 2018
Haley-Henman at Open Studio 516
516 Fabrication Street
Dallas, Texas 75212
DALLAS,Texas (April 3, 2018)—-Haley-Henman proudly presents the open studio of Henry Biber, titled “Shapes of the Void”. These artworks are unique digital media of pigment on paper. They elicit interior worlds filled with light and shadow. Biber eschews labels for his art. His attention to an aesthetic of less becoming more is pronounced in his work. The series continues his fascination of muted tones in black and white punctuated with sharp, brillant color.
Henry Biber “Shapes of the Void”, 30×40, 1/1, 2018
As Biber says, “Openly engaging with an artwork may, by virtue of what it is, moves one away from using tools of the workaday setting, for example: explanation and analysis. Setting aside these devices of logical thought one finds oneself in the sphere of poetic imagination, wherein intuition, empathy; metaphor (that which comes to us by dreams) gives a closer grasp of the work. This style permits encounters with motifs of the inner life—things that are mysterious, indefinite, and ambiguous. They can be recognized or acknowledged but are not for giving explanations…it involves a process of communing with it, vis a vis our interior life more than by attempting to match it with a previous known concept.
The studio will be open for Biber to receive guests on Saturday , May 19 from 5-8 pm. A conversation with Biber will be on Saturday, June 2 at 3 pm. Other visits to the studio are by appointment only, call or text 214-532-3225. ###
