New DCA Instructor, Henry “Hank” Jacobs, is a collagist living in Metro Detroit. Understanding collage as occupying a liminal space between painting and sculpture, he carefully selects scrap from a large collection of material and constructs two-dimensional monoliths with obscure origins in cosmicism, abjection, and thing theory. Hank’s art has been displayed at the Downriver Council for the Arts Gallery, as well as the Harrowing Hall dark art exhibit, “an immersive and haunting art experience”. His work has been featured in collage magazine Photosynthesis. He also designed the poster for the documentary Tangent Realms: The Worlds of C.M. Köseman.
