Hannelore Baron: Fragments Shored Against Ruinshttp://flintarts.org/exhibitions_current3.html#hannelore
Ford Graphics Gallery
Baron’s art reflects her response to psychological and physical peril. Her work, comprised of small to medium sized hinged boxes and box assemblages, includes scraps of wood, fabric, and found metal objects—cast off materials that Baron recombines into works that are compelling meditations on history and the human condition.

Examples of preparatory drawings, which allow the viewer to explore the artist’s process alongside his completed works are also included.
