Twist 4

Description

New Textile Art by Susan Hensel

Playin’ around in the studio again!

There are always “leftovers.”  And we all know leftovers are yummy!
Now I’m making more and more, just like the leftovers!

I was working on tightly folded forms for another sculpture when I ran into problems.  The piercings were not lining-up properly.  But, I had all these pretty peacock colored things! So, I started playing, figuring out what they could do.  Oh boy!  Could they twist and dance!  I twisted the modules and slid them onto 2 springs!

And then! I realized that these jewels can be enjoyed in several ways! There is no front or back: You get to chose!

Sculpture: Fabric on Soft (Yarn, Cotton, Fabric).
