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. […]

Embroidery Art of Susan Hensel THE BIRTH OF ZIG-ZAG looking, playing, recognizing ZIG ZAG, embroidery art by Susan Hensel, premiering in In and Out of the Fold, is the result of looking and playing and then recognizing a useful composition. Check out our shop here. Much of my time as an artist is spent looking. Not seeing exactly, but actively looking at things. It is simply how I am wired: I need to look at lots and lots of things… a lot. Finding the relationships between shapes and objects. Taking the time to see and train your eyes to see what most people can’t is what art is all about. Awakening the human mind. I enjoy finding the shape of the spaces surrounding an object. While also discerning the shapes of ordinary things and imagining how else that shape could be employed. I also like playing with shapes and objects and diverse materials. […]

This special online exhibition, In and Out of the Fold, introduces 4 new pieces. New! Chromatic Flutter Susan Hensel Projects Chromatic Flutter: Today I want to show you CHROMATIC FLUTTER.

With this, and many other pieces, I am not only investigating how folds change the shape of a piece, but how the skewing of space changes how color is perceived! […]
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. […]
