I am using thread and fiber techniques to shift light and perception through structures and forms in the real world.”
– Susan Hensel
With limited color palettes and basic techniques Minnesota artist Susan Hensel creates textile sculptures and mixed media works. Spanning a wide range of sizes, Hensel investigates a variety of forms: folded embroidery, movable vessels, free-standing sculptures, and large-scale wall installations. Each piece celebrates the physics of light and encourages viewers to move through the gallery to witness colors mix, vibrate, and interact.
