Henry Hudson And the Half Moon Sculpture
















FROM THE PAST TO THE PRESENT
LOCAL HISTORY IN RECYCLED METAL


Henry Hudson is depicted through recycled metal to including his ship and map. The larger than life sculpture is kinetic and ties many aspects of local history in the use of antique discarded tools and parts welded together. The sculpture encompasses things of the past into the present in an educational manner. The sculptor miChelle M. Vara found the local history very enticing which lead to the sculpture. The Henry Hudson the sculpture will be on display at the Ballard Road Art Studio Gallery until June at which point it will be included in the Edward Hoper House art show in Nyack NY. The sculptor had hoped to display the piece locally in Albany but did not find an exhibit space.
