Undertaking this work within a constrained shape or panel creates a boundary\u2014a structured environment to safely record my response to the disjointedness of our current history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holly Savas is a mixed media collage artist who lives, works and plays in San Francisco, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a href=\"mailto:hollysavas@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to email<\/a>]<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollysavas.com\/collage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.hollysavas.com\/collage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/holly-savas-Now_Then-210x210.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Now and Then<\/em><br>12&#8243;x12&#8243;;
