This looks like a rough, torn figure made from dark red and brown paper. The shape has a hooded head, a belted body, and long, skinny legs. The edges are jagged, like it was cut or ripped by hand. The whole thing is slightly smudged, giving it a faded, uneven look. The artist used a single print method called monoprint, which means this is one-of-a-kind. The figure’s rough edges and messy texture make it feel raw and unfinished. Check out Hannelore Baron to see more of her work.
