Henkels work is of fine formal aesthetic finesse, although of all materialistic
mish mash. His newer works are more abstract, architectural and off found
objects from design history. He digests cultural artefacts from all areas and
creates a new art work with the leftovers from the past. In combination with
his figurative sculptures this becomes a fictionary scenery. If there was to be
named an issue of this body of work it was about the contradictious relationship
of high art and low art such as traditional craftsmanship and if those things
become art, if he uses their iconography along his work. This refers to Henkels
very own history as a wood sculptor and the wide spread German traditions
in that field.
