This is a charcoal drawing I made when I was studying the Hebrew alphabet. I unfortunately never learned the language but I developed a love of the shapes of the letters and those of ancient languages in general. The layering of the letters speaks to me of how meaning becomes diffused over time. The work measures 11″ x 14″. #hollywongart #worksonpaper #lostlanguage #sanfranciscoart #californiaart #charcoaldrawing
This is the first watercolor in a series measuring 11″ x 14″. I view these as the “inner life” of my larger installations. This is a new approach for me so I welcome your thoughts.

I am beginning to layer the sewn and pieced dichroic film with sheets of produce netting that is also cut up and reassembled into webs. I like the way the afternoon sun reflects on the strands of origami paper. 😀 It measures about 6′ across now and growing.

I am very pleased to share that my artwork has been printed on a 2’W x 3’H banner that hangs on a light post at the corner of 10th and Irving Street in San Francisco. It is one of 22 selected as a part of the SFWA Gallery Vibrant Visions Banner Competition for 2018/19. If you are in the neighborhood, check it out. 😀

This is another section of my assemblage which now integrates drawings on tracing paper as an overlay woven on the painted vellum elements and collage. I feel like drawing is a magical space.

Making progress on my installation of dichroic film and origami paper. Working with smaller and smaller sewn fragments and increasing the layers for a fractile like effect. It measures about 4’H x 3’W now and growing. 😀 This is the project I am planning for the Evanston Art Center in July of 2019.
