Debris Collection by Artist Mari Marks Mondanelli
Debris Collection represents fractured moments. With a camera, I have explored the world, gathering evidence of these instances through bright color, intense pattern, and unusual shapes. In an intuitive process, I play with relationships between these visual elements. As my memories come together, the work finds its own voice and reveals new possibilities.

About Susan Hensel Gallery
Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery was a gallery/ workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year devoted to the concept of narrative in the arts in an intimate space, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. The Susan Hensel Gallery is now both a window gallery on Cedar Avenue, the main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis and an online venture represented on Artsy.net.
In March 2013, the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel where she continues to work on small and largescale artwork with an attitude. You can find her current work at Susan Hensel Projects.
The studio remains open to the public on Monday, 10 am-5 pm, during special events and by generous appointments. You are welcome to drop by this gallery/workspace at any time, but a call ahead prevents frustration. We show collection caliber visual art with a strong sense of materiality and objecthood from a growing stable of represented artists
