Spencer Hansen will present his solo show, Tethered Worlds, at Skye Gallery, inside the High Line Nine, in New York. This will be his first solo show in New York.

Spencer was born in rural Idaho, the youngest of 8 children. As a child, he found solace in daydreaming. His imagination offered relief from the confusing stories that knit together his family’s deep religious beliefs. He formed his own narratives in a world he belonged, an internal landscape inhabited by creatures. His world shaped by stories, so closely tied to his identity, is the foundation of his sculptural works.

He builds relationship through form, combining contrasting natural materials with precision. His sculptures are his language. Like all authentic storytellers, his art conveys truth. Truth about play, about joy, about belonging, and struggle.

Spencer still considers daydreaming an integral part of his creative process. While elements of playful, childhood days remain consistent throughout his work, the tenor of Tethered Worlds speaks to connections created through stories lived and imagined.
