This show of photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and other media explores the relationship between creativity and constraint through works that invite close inspection, quiet reflection, and intimacy between viewer and object. Whether offering a glimpse into the natural world, a solitary form or figure, or a colorful abstraction that evokes deep emotion, the works here reward patience and careful examination. Participating Artists: Robin Adler, Karen Allen, Bob Barry, Joel Brown, Nate Hill, Nataliya Hines, George Kimmerling, Linda Lauro-Lazin, Nansi T. Lent, Soli Pierce, Eileen Sackman, and Ilse Schreiber-Noll. Visit https://www.baugallery.org/artists-current for artist information.
