A View from the Easel: Holly Wong

Describe an average day in your studio.

My average day in the studio begins at 4am. I get up early before breakfast to get an hour of work in. After exercise, I work an additional three hours, break for lunch, and then work an additional two to three hours in the afternoon. My routine is to try to focus on chunks of time in the studio, with time on emails and admin in the evening, so that I limit task shifting in the studio. I try to dedicate my best focus time (which is the morning hours) to art making. I move back and forth between my collaged paintings, works on paper, and fiber installations. The fluidness across materials is important to me. I do listen to art-related podcasts in the studio as well as music, but it depends on what I am working on. If I am in the final phases of completing a project, then I don’t listen to anything at all.
