Teresa Baker's Art is Hard To Keep Your Hands Off

Using nontraditional materials like artificial turf, yarn, felt and mesh, Teresa Baker incorporates small gestures into larger expanses of color and texture. Not quite paintings, drawings or sculptures, the irregular edges of Baker’s AstroTurf surfaces resemble sewing patterns—parts of a larger, possibly three-dimensional whole. Formerly based in the Bay Area, this is a bit of a homecoming for the L.A. artist, who last showed at Interface in 2015. —Sarah Hotchkiss
