Like a dark prism, the black and white photographs in Uncle Charlie presents a richly textured portrait of a disturbed and complex man, Charles Henschke, the uncle and godfather of renowned photographer Marc Asnin, whose photo-essay, Uncle Charlie opened in February 2016 at the QCC Art Gallery. The exhibit is the first presentation of his full body of work on Uncle Charlie, one that spans some 30 years.
