GEOMETRIC STITCH | Abstract Art by Susan Hensel | Susan Hensel Projects

2020-10-01T17:36:29-04:00Embroidery Art, Exhibition|

The show that almost was! Welcome to the first inaugural curated exhibition on Susan Hensel Projects! In this new world, where long planned exhibitions are delayed or cancelled, I will be presenting curated collections from my website every couple of months. Because the pandemic delayed this the exhibition Geometric Stitch indefinitely, it seemed appropriate to share at least some of the originally scheduled show. This collection includes abstract art by Susan Hensel. It will likely be rescheduled by 621 Gallery, with whom I am very pleased to be working.  But, by the time it finds it place back in the schedule, it will likely be a somewhat different group of work!  So, without any more fanfare: Here it is! Click on the side arrows to view the show.  Click on individual images to learn more about each.   GEOMETRIC STITCH Abstract art by Susan Hensel […]

LaThoriel Badenhausen Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home New York artist LaThoriel Badenhausen wrote: "Paper dolls! Growing up poor in rural Minnesota, my paper dolls were wrinkled, faded dolls culled and cut from the Christmas Sears Roebuck catalog.  Every year, I received a bounty of new paper dolls in the mail.  (Montgomery Ward’s “dolls” were inferior). My paper dolls were constant friends during days spent indoors waiting out a blizzard. Schiaparelli Fashion Paper Dolls remind me of that place, those days.  Just as a child I pasted new dresses to a doll when I became bored with her fashion presence or posture, I have transformed the dated Schiaparelli paper dolls by giving each doll a face evident in the currently fashionable art context.  Yoko Ono, Pamela Lehman, Nara, Cattelan, Warhol, Jesus and his disciples and McCarthy’s “Tomato Head”."

Alicia Bailey Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home  Denver artists Alicia Bailey says, "The phrase “home is where the heart is” is one that confounded me in childhood. Others seemed to think that home was a house somewhere. I asked my mother about it once, or maybe more than once. Her response to my idea, if my home is where my heart is, then my body must be my home, was an exasperated “Where do you come up with these ideas?” The conviction that my home is the one that I carry with me everywhere, my physical body, has stayed with me and continues to make sense. I find comfort in the notion of my home as something that is wholly mine. A thing while it can be shared, used or abused by others, exploited even, belongs to no other. A place that will cease to exist at the same moment that I do. The five books here reference the physical (Shedding), the sensual (Burning Me Open), the psychological (Two Hearts), the spiritual (Mercy) and all the above (Ab)."

Philip R. Luoma Anderson Reader's Art 12: Longing for home covers a lot of territory.  Over the next few weeks I will be featuring images from the artists who are participating from close to home and as far away as France. Pictured above is an image from Changing Face of a Nation  by Philip R. Luoma Anderson. In the book Adult Basic Education students who are learning English wrote a personal narrative. They wrote about their lives in their home countries, coming to the USA, their current lives, and their hopes for the future. Philip was their instructor. He wrote about demographic change in the USA and Minnesota, language acquisition, and the loss of heritage language and the factors that influence language acquisition, language maintenance, and language loss.    Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home March 16- April 26, 2012 opening reception Friday, March 16, 7-10pm Textile Art by Susan Hensel Discover the transformative textile art by Susan Hensel.

Aileen Bassis Reader's Art 12 : Longing for Home  Aileen Bassis: "In 2006 I discovered that my mother was developing dementia.  It was a devastating and overwhelming shock.  The person that I knew my entire life was dissolving before me.  As an artist, I make work about subjects that disturb and concern me and so I made art about mom and indirectly, me.  All of the texts are from my conversations with her.  Since I made this work, my father has passed away, and mom is now in assisted living.  I visit often and listen to her rambling words and mourn the loss of the person she used to be.  I no longer make art about her. " Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home March 16-April 26, 2012 opening reception, Friday, March 16, 7-10pm Textile Art by Susan Hensel Discover the transformation of textile art by Susan Hensel.
