Insomniac by Nina Martine Robinson

Nina Martine Robinson, a contemporary textile artist who for the past seven years has pushed the boundaries of fabric. During this process, she has transformed cloth and clothing remnants into sculptures and immersive installations.

Insomniac by Nina Martine Robinson opened in the windows at 3441 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis and online July 20 and runs through September 15, 2022, celebrating neurodivergence through crocheted figures. The brightly colored pieces represent various aspects and experiences on the spectrum. Uncovering and celebrating the inner lives of people with autism.

The crocheted pieces in INSOMNIAC uphold and celebrate. This exhibition holds the odd, unexpected, and surprising forms it uses to explore this hidden interior life for neurodivergent people. The balance between the figurative and the abstract makes the work a captivating example of fiber art.

For those of you local to the Twin Cities of Minnesota…Most of the artworks are also in the Windows!

 

 

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 large scale artwork with an attitude. You can find her current work at Susan Hensel Projects

The studio remains open to the public by appointment or chance, on Monday-Saturday, 10 am-5 pm.  You are welcome to drop by this gallery/workspace at any time, but a call ahead prevents frustration. The well lit Windows on Cedar Project are available to be seen 24 hours a day.
