Loie Hollowell’s pastel drawings for Going Soft explore the physical and psychological experiences of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Serving as abstracted self-portraits, each drawing reveals the artist's interior psyche at the time of the work’s creation.

This series began with pastel drawings made by Hollowell after her first pregnancy. At the time, the artist was preparing for Plumb Line, her September 2019 exhibition at Pace’s new gallery in New York. The series has since continued into the first half of 2020 while Hollowell was in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, before and after the birth of her second child.
