Reader's Art 10 and such Whew! The boxes are in the mail! So many books! So many boxes! The next show EARTH & AIR: art for the environment, by Leslie Sobel is hung. I have been building stretchers for a series of my pieces that are being hung in a show this weekend. The gallery looks like a BOMB! went off.   But, a wonderful surprise came in the mail today.   Book Arts Newsletter, No. 57, May 2010, an increasingly large publication out of the UK, arrived today with a review of Reader's Art 10. You can find it online at http://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/newspdfs/57.pdf. The nice thing about reading it online is that it is in FULL color. Go take a look. Our article starts on page 34.  Here is a quick snapshot of the poetry reading...poets and listeners reading before all the poets arrived. 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 [...]

Books that Fly

2023-06-08T01:31:49-04:00Articles, News, Art|

Books that Fly Some books cannot be contained! Wayne Mc Neil's UNBOUND is one of them. The pages of the altered book became cranes and flew across the gallery. Jody Reeb-Meyers book unaccountably chose to float. Maybe the holes in it made it lighter than air. Holey Book of Arts. Even Betsy Dollar's work:An Inter-generational Dialogue on the Color Pink needed to float high! Reader's Art 10 opens Friday, March 12, 7-9pm. Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture.

Graffiti prevention stencil

2023-06-08T01:32:30-04:00Articles, News, Art|

Graffiti prevention stencil Graffiti prevention stencil. While musicians played at Cupa Joe's, Zach, Eric & I began the demonstration stencil process. We taped the stencil edges up with duct tape. Zach rolled little loops of tape and placed them behind the floppier edges. Surprisingly, the wind made the styrene flap around a bit. We masked the area around the stencil with paper. Nothing fancy, newspaper would work. Zach and I sprayed several colors through the stencil. It was important to hold the sprayer away about 8 inches or so, to reduce over spray on the really rough stucco. When the stencil was removed, the design was pretty clear. I did not expect sharp edges. We flipped the stencil over and did another round of colors. The bottom of the stencil was too hard an edge for my taste. So, Zach and I taped off an area and filled it in with the remaining green and purple paint. Zachary Pearl was the artist who designed this first stencil for Corcoran Neighborhood. He gracefully agreed to help do this one. It was pretty easy. We spent maybe 2 or 2 1/2 hours including clean-up. It is helpful to have a [...]
