INFOIn her works American artist Jill Baroff creates subtle spatial fields of Japanese Gampi paper and site-specific installations of a poetic minimalism. Jill Baroff’s drawings and installations show a detailed power of observation, a high sense for the material – located in space and time. The processes of chance and ordering influence her work as well as her many stays in Japan do. The results are far more than mere drawings: incredibly delicate objects made of paper, vivid pictorial spaces that combine a surprising lightness and freedom in their materiality.
