EXHIBITION
The artists intention is for all those who see
Tribes will be instilled with her desire to heal broken
societies through art. It is important that this message,
which cries to be heard, is openly shared to reach
and inspire a widespread audience. The true healing
power of the collection is in the inherent inspiration
it will generate.
BENEFICIARY
Subsequent to the exhibition of Tribes, it will be
offered for sale in its entirety with a significant
portion of the proceeds being allocated to a beneficiary
dedicated to reuniting broken families who have suffered
across the globe.

BOOK EXCERPT
Anthony Haden-Guest: Has making Tribes helped
deal with the events that created the need for them?
Hendelman: Absolutely.
I find a lot of peace in my work. A healing of sorts.
They seem to me like whole people. I feel they are
archetypes. They have the strength we have lost. And
they could open our lives to a different dimension
one that used to exist and now has been forgotten.
Somehow I feel like Im related to these people.
That is why I use the word tribes. I dont
look on them as found objects or just as art pieces.
I see them as real beings. And sometimes to me they
can be very large. As small as they are, to me they
can be life-size. Or tremendously large. A massive
gathering
