Kent Henricksen alters patterned fabrics by embroidering them with hooded figures that seem to reference images of terrorists or the KKK. The figures in his work engage in deviant acts of behavior as they occupy the pre-existing patterns surrounding them. Henricksen is currently represented by John Connelly Presents in NYC, and you can read more about his work in the recent issue of Beautiful Decay.

"My name is Jane Dunn. I was a classmate of Kori Newkirk's, in fact we graduated together in 1988 from Cortland Junior-Senior High School in Cortland, NY. I was just thinking about him as he is an old friend of mine and would VERY MUCH like to get in touch with him. Please help if you can; it would be very much appreciated. Thank you! :) Sincerely, Jane Dunn email at dunnjanee28@yahoo.com"

"I cannot say that Bill Henson's work is pornographic any more than the work of Sally Mann, Jock Sturges or Irina Ionesco. But like all of these artists his work is obviously sexually suggestive and intentionally provocative. Anyone who creates images of naked children in erotic poses who claims to be an innocent victim of puritanical fanaticism when their works are challenged and condemned are playing the fool, plain and simple. I am aware of the fact that children are sexual creatures and I do not personally have a problem with child nudity, but as sexual animals living in a domesticated world there simply is no way in which one can seriously expect universal positivity when utilizing such aspects artistically. Nor should one view themselves as enlightened among sheep either. There is nothing ignorant in finding public provocation offensive and those who believe that using children in such a manner is socially unhealthy are far from delusional. As an artist myself I find great hypocrisy in much of how children are viewed and used artistically and I also recognize that central to the argument of why such works are important is artistic ego, not the weak reasoning which centers on the opinions of biased groups and gallery owners. Sorry to be so contrary but I feel my opinion to be valid on this matter. "
