Featuring new wood and clay sculptures, Ben Jackel’s forthcoming exhibition American Imperium opens next Wednesday, February 18.
Expect to see utilitarian objects and helmets made from clay, sleek wooden drones suspended from the ceiling, and a larger than life wooden axe roughly hewn into shape using… you guessed it… axes!
American Imperium will be on view from 18 February - 28 March, 2015.
