Loie Hollowell — Bag of waters, month six
Loie Hollowell

Bag of waters, month six

A luminous, centrally-composed form evokes the organic curves of the human body and the sacred vessel of pregnancy, rendered in soft, glowing gradients of color. Hollowell uses pastel to build radiant, almost otherworldly light that emanates from within the rounded, womb-like shape, blending the spiritual and the anatomical. The delicate graphite lines anchor the ethereal composition, grounding the viewer in both the physical reality and the profound mystery of new life at six months.
