Ophelia as she is changing in the new temporary studio

Ophelia as she is changing

I have rented a storefront on S. Bloomington Avenue for the duration of the renovation through Reader’s Art so I can easily continue working on the bodies of work that have been languishing in the on and off work practice that was necessitated by life with a gallery.

Each day that I get to work on this project, I come home exhausted after only a few hours of work.  So much looking! I try one thing and then another and look at the whole series of 10 drawings to see if they scan. If they tell the story that they have been created to tell. Little by little, they accomplish their work.

Each drawing is part of an installation and performance that I expect to present around this time next year.  I could do it sooner…except for Reader’s Art!

Susan Hensel Gallery

 

The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture. It is a gallery where experimental ideas and works of the hand join to create unique sensory experiences. Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery is a gallery/ workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year in an intimate space. With hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. In 2013 the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel. Where she continues to work on small and largescale artwork that engages both sculptural and cultural space. You can find her current work at www.SusanHenselProjects.com.
