He stands 10 feet tall, with a body of iron beams and welded scrap metal. His face is a bicycle wheel, with nuts and bolts are riveted to his hat and various water-faucet handles serving as shirt-buttons.

”Henry Hudson and the Half Moon,” a sculpture that looms at the water’s edge in Kingston’s Rotary Park.

Gallagher, 25, is the curator of the 2009 Kingston Sculpture Biennial exhibition, and she called the sculpture, created by miChelle Vara, “powerful yet whimsical.”

“With the quadricentennial, it’s such a great centerpiece,” Gallagher said, referring to the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage up the river that bears his name.

The theme of this year’s biennial, the ninth, is “Go Green and Keep the Hudson Clean.” It focuses on work that pays homage to the Hudson River’s impact and uses natural or recycled materials.

Earlier this month we introduced you to Henry Hudson’s famous ship, the Half Moon. Now it’s time to show you the explorer himself. But as our Dave Detling reports, this depiction is unlike any you’ll find in a textbook.

What’s new – The sculptural piece called “Volta del Gioioso” has just been completed for showing at Downtown Albany’s Sculpture in the Streets. Also showing will be “Harmony” and “Strength”.

The opening reception is June 6th at 6pm in the Tricentennial Park Albany NY. The show will run until April 14th 2009. I hope to see and meet you all there.

The sculpture was moved up in completion date due to the publication coming out for Albany BID’s catalog. To finish the sculpture has been a long 2-week push. Now that it is complete I feel that it has met my
expectations of my dream like planning stages. The piece will have a permanent base of concrete not shown in the picture (PICTURE WILL BE ADDED HERE SOON, AS WELL AS IN THE ONLINE GALLERY)
