Gerry Heney (of PGH Assemblages) has had an abiding interest in art from a very early age. An avid gallery goer, a member of the Ottawa art scene, he has many influences close to home and away. Some of his influences include international artist, such as Louis Nevilson, Marcel Duchamp, Gerard Cambon, and Pablo Picasso. He has spent many years collecting found objects whose shape, size, texture, and colour appealed to me. He was subsequently inspired to assemble these pieces into both abstract and representational sculptures. The objects that he collects are from a bygone era, such as rusted machinery, automotive parts and farm implements. He also likes to incorporate old toys and games into these creations. Gerry feels that others could appreciate these old objects re-imagined into new forms. These pieces lend a playful air of nostalgia to any environment.
Gerry joined Art in the Neighbourhood in 2018.
