How the artist builds her work
Hollowell's paintings combine oil, acrylic media and sculpted high-density foam to create bulging, mandorla-like forms that emerge from the picture plane, as detailed in material notes on her studio website.
Series such as Overview Effect and earlier clock-like compositions like 03:35:30am, Evening Flesh Clock and 09:25:30am Morning Blues Clock use repeated time references and bodily geometry to link sensual experience with cosmic scale.
