Dangling Participle, 1998

 Item — Multiple Containers
Identifier: CC-32014-33545
Scope and Contents

This work was purchased from the exhibition "Textiles/Fibers/Threads: The Book Show" at The Center for Book Arts, New York. The exhibition was curated by Kumi Korf and Charlotte Thorpe. Hensel describes her work as follows: "The words we all speak and think link together in sentences, disjointed phrases, odd web structures, broken threads and dangling participles. The words rush out of a vein, they cascade over all our experiences. This particular piece is about those threads of conversation left unfinished, dangling out of context, with sometimes unexpected consequences. At the time that I wrote this piece, I was thinking about the cruelty of teenage girls and about the half-truths and innuendos we hear on the news daily. This is a meander through the effects of impulsive adolescent conversations and rumors." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
