What Is Textile Art To Susan Hensel Projects Textile art has many meanings and depends on who you speak with. To the fellow artist, it is another form of expressing yourself. In essence, it means to tell a story to help you feel an emotion. To the viewer, it could offer a sense of subtle beauty and inspiration. For Susan Hensel Projects, textile art is a form of persistence and resilience. […]

Susan Hensel Art Exhibition NOW OPEN! IN AND OUT OF THE FOLD A Susan Hensel Art Exhibition [su_box title=”IN AND OUT OF THE FOLD”]“Susan Hensel’s textile work is a dizzying journey of shifting colors and arresting, yet abstract, form. In and Out of the Fold presents biomorphic shapes and geometric patterns with sumptuous texture, representing Hensel’s long history with transformative, sculptural work.”- Jonathon M Clark, independent critic[/su_box] Susan Hensel Art Exhibition-As the art exhibition world remains sleepy during the pandemic, waking-up oh so slowly around the nation, artists and galleries are moving exhibitions and sales online. So, too, is the textile artist Susan Hensel, introducing new, never before seen artwork to the online audience. […]
In and Out of the Fold – Susan Hensel Textile Work [su_box title=”In And Out Of The Fold – COMING SOON” box_color=”#2a6bb0″]September 14, 2020 – November 2, 2020 Watch for NEW, never before seen work by Susan Hensel, ready to delight and uplift your spirits. MARK YOUR CALENDARS Return HERE for the link to the show on September 14![/su_box] Susan Hensel textile work is a dizzying journey of shifting colors and arresting, yet abstract, form. In and Out of the Fold presents biomorphic shapes and geometric patterns with sumptuous texture, representing Hensel’s long history with transformative, sculptural work. The series revels in overwhelming color, serving to create moments of intense sensation. In a world of increasing speed and economic literal mindedness, Hensel slows down time through visual intensity, pausing these dominant concerns. But the pieces do not merely prefer the transcendent to the physical, rather they unite the two modes into a shared space. […]

Upwelling Story Susan Hensel Upwelling Story Susan Hensel-During these times of fewer exhibitions I have been studying a lot. One of my studies has been, and continues to be, with Transformational Creative Coach Tressa Berman. I signed on for a six week session to investigate how I might prepare for the reopening of the art world. It was clear to me that real-world obstacles to exhibition and sales still remained. It was less clear to me how I might be sabotaging my progress…what kinds of beliefs and habits of thought could be inhibiting how I move forward. I sometimes joke that parenthood brings on adult-onset-ADD. During this pandemic, it seems to be ADD on steroids! Too many ideas, too little focus. […]
No Fields Found.WE NEED ART! We, here in Minneapolis, still smack in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, as is the majority of the United States. The East coast creative scene is cautiously opening up, here and there. A lot of the blue-chip galleries have moved out to South Hampton, where their clients are sheltering in place. I just sent artwork to the Silvermine Art Center for their next show. They started opening up in July! Seems wild, doesn't it? Or at least it seems wild if you are living in one of the epicenters! Here, in Minneapolis, the art museums are opening for a few days per week by appointment and with strict rules and restrictions. I went to the Walker Art Center, and felt both safe and at risk! It was a weird experience, but being in the actual presence of real, rather than virtual, art was wonderful. I am craving a visit to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I have a need to sit in front of a medieval or renaissance oil painting to contemplate how the light bounces around through the layers of oil glazes! That cannot be done through a screen. Perhaps I can safely do [...]
While virtual exhibitions are still more common than in-person shows…a few things are moving out the door and into the world for a spell. I can’t tell you how good it feels to have the work speak in the ways that were always intended. […]
