The imagery plays with fragments of American photography, cinema and... Henry's artistic practices focus on the politics of America during the 1960s and 1970s.

Without legalized booze, smugglers imported liquor from Canada, and bootleggers ensured that domestic speakeasies kept the liquor flowing. Crime ran so rampant that Newport, Richford and Lyndonville...
