Loose Threads, Girls Club, Fort Lauderdale, FL 2026 Born&nbsp;in New York City, based in Miami Education: MFA at Hunter College, NY (2008) and a BA at Bard College, NY (1998). Moira Holohan starts with the body and gesture — as both the thing she is looking at and the thing she makes with. Growing up in New York City in the 80s and 90s, she absorbed gesture as a coded language in the context of tight and structured spaces of NYC, the NY subculture of dance clubs and concerts, her mother's ballet classes, and eventually in museums, standing in front of large Abstract Expressionist paintings. The latter was critical to developing a painted vocabulary; she couldn't leave alone but couldn't take straight. Grad school introduced her to video, green screen, and textiles — and eventually to flipbook animations (sequences of video stills she reworks by hand and reanimates).
