In the Abstraction series, curator Andrew Ringler describes: Keaton Fox explores history, and deletion through found video. Maria Servellon explores human form, beauty and abstraction. Allison Tanenhaus transforms archival video through glitch and transformation. And Maria Fong explores the passage of time through ink.

Maria Fong makes art that requires or precipitates some kind of interaction between people. Through zines, mail art drawings, animations, installations, and performances, she connects people by sharing stories and lived realities. Creating and communicating in the face of silencing and homogenizing is an act of resistance. By combining text and image she is able to communicate in multifaceted ways.
