Orgin:

Germany

Field Notes:

Cast sand bronze and rubber reinterpret cities and horses as malleable ground plans

Defining Moment:

The horse and street model works where monuments are flattened or inverted making power visible as rearrangeable structure

Lena Henke

(

1982–

)

lay-na hen-ke

Henke built a world where sculpture maps desire — streets, bodies, and monuments abstracted into sensual topographies.

Her works reveal the city as emotional structure.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Lena Henke’s work, this approach appears where industrial material recalibrates bodily scale.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Contemporary

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.
