At Roeper, Mrs. Stiebel
says, "the only difficult
thing was getting up very
early" to teach. She was a
devoted educator who loved
her students, but she found
herself wanting to spend
every moment sculpting.
Eventually, she left both
Roeper and her shared
studio.
Today, Mrs. Stiebel works
out of a quiet building in
Pontiac. Atop the door is a
large, red 1940s neon clock.
Inside, the studio is filled
with heavy machinery to cut
the steel pieces used in her
sculptures. There are also
crayons, art magazines,
plants and walls and walls of
tools. Mrs. Stiebel finds
many of her tools and
machinery pieces, some of
which are contained in old
cookie tins, at garage sales.
She works mainly in the
morning, listening to
Vivaldi and relishing her
privacy. The studio is only
for small and medium-sized
sculptures; for her larger
works, she turns to a
welding shop.
"I see sculpture large so
people can walk through and
under it and become part of
the environment," she says.
She opts for metal "because
it gives you a tremendous
sense of strength. I start
from zero, with nothing.
Everything done with that
metal is mine from the
beginning."
Mrs. Stiebel no longer
sculpts the flowing human
figures of her early years.
Instead, her pieces are large,
contemporary pieces of
thick, heavy metal. But she
is still intrigued by move-
ment, which she says all her
sculptures today express.
"My themes are harmony
in life and in movement,"
she says.
Hanna Stiebel's works are
on display locally at
Somerset Mall and at
Meadowbrook, in the
Renaissance Center and at
the Blue Cross building
downtown. One is part of a
new Nashville mall de-
veloped by Alfred Taubman,
and another — the winner of
a national competition —
sits at the George Meany
Institute for Social Research
in Baltimore. She is in the
midst of creating a work for
an opera house in Germany.
Reflecting on her years in
the Haganah, as a dancer, in
Israel and as a teacher, Mrs.
Stiebel says, "I have a long,
stormy past.
"I .think I have lived at
least three lives," she says.
"But I would like most to be
known as an artist."
