Catalogue Note
Known for artwork that explores the bodily landscape, Hollowell’s practice exists in the liminal space between abstraction and figuration, and otherworldly and corporeal. Originating in autobiography, her work explores themes of sexuality, pregnancy and birth using symbolic shapes such as the mandorla, ogee, and lingam to build her distinctive visual lexicon. The central lingam has been pivotal in Hollowell’s practice as she utilized the sacred shape to explore the energies within the concept of female anatomy abstracted. Since then, her work has explored further questions of the female body through variations of sexuality and pregnancy.
A portion of proceeds will benefit the artist. For inquiries or to place a phone or absentee bid, please email bid@thecontemporaryaustin.org .
