Hillevi Baar
 
Hillevi Baar works primarily with mylar and herculene, thin, translucent plastics. She carefully creates vibrant patterns in ink on some surfaces, while others are coated in tranquil, uniform color. She slices, pins, and twists the mylar into sometimes complex and sometimes gracefully simple arrangements with an ethereal quality. The apparent vulnerability of Baar’s materials combines with the way the works interact with light and shadow to create lushly delicate three-dimensional pieces. Baar received her MA and BFA at Stephen F. Austin University and lives and works in Houston.
