Hillevi Baar does beautiful illustrations on Mylar, but also uses this base for some of her sculptural cutting, which is sometimes incorporated into a mix of inks and graphite. The details on these pieces are exquisite; seemingly disparate elements combine to form a composition that borders on the surreal if it doesn’t plunge right in. The white space that surrounds the illustrations or the cut-out work is equally effective, helping the viewer to focus on what is there, as well as what is not.
