art loie hollowell sophia cohen pregnancy parenting

Sophia Cohen, five months pregnant, interviews artist Loie Hollowell about navigating motherhood and artistic practice. Hollowell discusses how pregnancy, childbirth, and perimenopause have influenced her abstract geometric works exploring the female body. The conversation covers the physical and emotional transformations of pregnancy, the fear of loss, and how these experiences manifest—or don't—in her art. Hollowell's recent museum survey at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, “Loie Hollowell: Space Between, A Survey of Ten Years,” mapped the parallel evolution of her visual language and her body.

‘I was super horny when I made my early work’: Loie Hollowell’s abstract paintings of breasts and vaginas

Loie Hollowell discusses her latest painting series 'Overview Effect,' currently on view at Pace Gallery in London. The series features large-scale canvases with twin concave and convex sculpted circles, inspired by the out-of-body experience she had during the home birth of her daughter. The works continue her abstract exploration of pregnancy, birth, and the female body, following earlier series like 'Split Orb' and 'Dilation Stage' that responded to the difficult birth of her son. Hollowell cites influences including Georgia O'Keeffe, Louise Bourgeois, and Luchita Hurtado, as well as Instagram home-birth photographs and the Ina May Gaskin childbirth book.
