Elusive Relationships
Born in the 80’s, Henderson has lived two distinct lives. Her childhood and high school years were, for the most part, pre-internet. The iPhone was introduced in 2007 as she graduated college; heavily tethering the second half of her life to a smartphone and social media. Henderson has a lot of questions about the ways these tools and devices have formed/are forming her as she finds herself continuously navigating the tensions that they seem to create. The smartphone certainly provides many benefits, but it also entices one to consume, placate discomfort with distraction, and resist the limitations of time and space. These activities often feel in direct competition with the deeper and more complicated longings of her soul— to contribute to the world through thoughtful creation, attentiveness, and lean into the limitations of embodiment. With the ever-increasing pace of technological advancement, it is essential that we critically evaluate how personhood is continually shaped and re-shaped by the adoption of each new tool and device.
Henderson works through these questions and tensions in her artmaking practice. Viewing her computer and phone as a digital archeological dig-site of sorts, these repositories are culled for photos, screenshots, texts and other source imagery that become autobiographical evidence and documentation of everyday life. Through abstracting, combining, documenting, distorting, re-processing, duplicating, and recombining these elements a visual language emerges that mirrors the endlessly regenerating behavior of technology itself. The work is primarily two-dimensional; utilizing digital and handmade processes like vinyl cutting, CNC routing, digital printing and screen printing in ways that are densely layered. Sparkly, metallic, reflective, slick surfaces are punctuated with dimensional interruptions, distortions and handmade marks that embody analog/digital tensions.

Random and referential, sarcastic and sentimental, nonsensical and narrative... Through a densely layered multimedia installation, Henderson visualizes the complicated tensions that emerge when embodied individuals live increasingly disembodied—or multi-bodied—lives. As tech's involvement in daily life continues to increase at a disorienting rate, Henderson seeks to create space for conversation and consideration of the ways in which pervasive technologies shape human experience.
The opening included a hands on activity for kids. Graphic elements from the exhibition were turned into coloring sheets and stickers and a collage station was set up in the space. Participants added their work to an empty gallery wall at the entrance to the show.
The exhibition includes a booklet/artist statement/guide:
