Hello there, I’m Henken

I explore the tension between improvisation and planned creation; where intuition meets intention.

I am fascinated by the idea of opposites: ideas that cannot be described without the context of the other. Their union creates a type of balance. Inherent in this balance (dual, yet united) is a mystery which I study through expression, feedback, and imagination.
