Textile Art by Susan Hensel
Discover the 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 embroidery machine. The goal is to create an experience for the viewer that shocks you. With color and transcends the common. Encouraging one, for even a few seconds, to step outside the narrative of the ego into a place of pure sensation.
Hensel’s artwork is known and collected nationwide. It is represented in collecting libraries and museums. As disparate as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and The Getty Research Institute. There are major holdings at Minnesota Center for Book Arts, University of Washington, Baylor University and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Archives pertaining to her artist’s books are available for study at the University of Washington Libraries in Seattle. Hensel’s main direct work started in 2000 in East Lansing, Michigan with the Art Apartment and deepened with ownership of the Susan Hensel Gallery.
