Bainbridge Arts and Crafts presents the art of Karen Hackenberg and “Lost and Found” in November.

Hackenberg focuses on “the dislocated, discarded, mass-produced objects found littering the edges, cracks and seams of our natural world.” Taking a low point of view, she gives flotsam a heroic scale as she lovingly and meticulously depicts the “post-consumer” landscape.

“Lost and Found” includes offerings from artists who discover forgotten bits of daily life and to transform them. BAC alchemists will exhibit clocks, jewelry and sculpture. Artists include Linda Costello, Bil Fleming, Chris Giffin, Nancy Hewitt, Ron Ho, Linda Jarvis, Shane Miller and Deborah Peek.

Miller will lead a free artist talk at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3.

Both a sculptor and a printmaker, Miller etches photographic images on metal, and discovers connections between moments of personal history and the natural world.

The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Bainbridge Arts and Crafts is at 151 Winslow Way E.
