Nicola Hensel - Artist

“The older I get, the more I seek ways to enter a state I know, that opens up in the space between tenderness and rapture. One of the reliable doorways for me, is in paying close attention to the natural world. The ‘green nation’ is a place of immeasurable generosity. We only breathe and grow because of its inhabitants and their relationship with the sun. And as I get more thin-skinned with age, I feel and see their shapes and patterns of growth as some fascinating and ineffable form of instruction.” Nicola Hensel
