Henry Hudson – 114″h x 72″d x 60″w
Henry Hudson’s stolen Ship was re-built.
Over one year ago the Half Moon was stolen off Henry Hudsons Map in Kingston NY-
Henry Hudson and the Half Moon sculpture, was on display for the Arts Society of Kingston when the sculpture was robbed of the integral 18” Half Moon ship displayed on the map.
The sculpture is made of re-claimed metal, depicting references to the historical story of Henry Hudson and his adventure.
2 years ago I hade been intrigued by the explorer called Henry Hudson.
His findings, his perseverance, the times and how he made things happen even through harsh adversity and successes. With this in mind I became driven to capture the man and the history thru sculpture. Henry Hudson is made from a years labor and hand picked re-claimed metal articles, welded together in a painted finish. The parts were chosen for their past life’s function tying the story together with connotations of things left behind and new beginnings. The existing shapes were also a strong consideration for the subliminal story told. Such as Bicycles as his breast lapels – Henry Hudson was driven by simple travel. His eyes made of ships rings. The hats brim the nuts and bolts of his operation his mind. The Map Stand is a crate portraying the merchandise he was to deliver. And so on.
Now Artist miChelle M. Vara has re-made the ship and will be installing the sculpture on Thursday 17th at 1pm, to be displayed at the Hudson River Maritime Museum, 50 Rondout Landing – Kingston, NY.
She also has made 2 ships availble for purchase so that onlookers dont have to steal the piece to openly enjoy in there own life.

Wow- looks like the ART MARKET returned quickly~!
miChelle Just completed, for a wonderful customer, now friend John, a screaming evil skull giving the subliminal finger. John said he wanted something that stood out from the normal. miChelle found out quickly John loves color and movement in paint, so miChelle ignited the project in a neon extreme way, using House Of Color product which fired the project up fine!
