In and Out of the Fold; an international online solo fiber art exhibition by Susan Hensel opens on November 15 and will continue through December 15, 2021.
Discover the transformative textile art by Susan Hensel. Susan Hensel is a multidisciplinary artist, with a 50+ year career. She combines a mixed media practice with embroidery across digital and manual platforms. She also makes sculptures and wall art using the colors and techniques of commercial embroidery. These artworks are designed in the computer and stitched out on the computer-aided embroidery machine. Her goal is to create an experience for the viewer that overwhelms with color and transcends the quotidian, encouraging one, for even a few seconds, to step outside the narrative of the ego into a place of pure sensation.
