“Created together with Australian artist Nell Pearson (Byron Bay), The Canberra Character is a form that conjured itself. Thirteen skeletons emerged from the night sky and over the course of six months in Australia’s capital city, Henderson and Pearson traversed the landscape under their spell, to discover this character and bring to form its reflection.

As with all such unfoldings, an invitation was offered here – to relate differently to a strange landscape, to make something of it all, and to witness in it a reflection of self, hewn together with every act. The thirteen pieces interlink to create five larger figures. Syllables, stressed and unstressed, fuse together to describe a picture of a poem of a place: cattail reeds and sweet- grass in a basket; a plasma globe; bitumen, turtle shells and glass eyes; cinnamon and wool and wire mesh. The Syzygy of Cinnamon. “
