"By the early 1970s, he developed a distinct performance practice (along with a robust approach to documentation in the forms of books and multiples). Hendricks came to distinguish himself from many other Fluxus artists in his forthright exploration of more personal and autobiographical themes. As he once beautifully declared, “Art is about getting deep, deep into your personal self, working, struggling (but all of this is not art), and then suddenly, you have left yourself for something universal.” - David J. Getsy, "The spectacle of privacy", p.119
