Following in the tradition of the Modern British artists, a long-term inspiration, the creative process and materials is central to Henry's work.  These silkscreen prints are produced through a series of pictorial layers applied to the picture surface to create such intense colours, texture and vibrancy.

Henry explains, 'The print evolves as it is made as each layer of colour and resulting series of shapes inform the next set of decisions. Many of these works are printed in up to ten or twelve colours; every individual colour being a separate operation often requiring a new screen matrix to be created, paint colour mixing, the pull itself and drying time.  Every print is a considerable creative and technical undertaking.

For me the real wonder of screenprinting is the fact that there is no ‘original’ from which a print is made. Every print is a journey of intuitive creativity and the resulting image gains its strength from the twists and turns taken during the course of its making.'
