Ophelia Chong takes found ephemera and builds a story around the image using one simple shape, a swoosh, which comes from an Exacto No.11 blade, a simple turn of the wrist, a bit of glue and building upon layer upon layer of color to create an interpretation of the original found image. Chong received her BFA in painting from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and currently works and resides in Los Angeles, California.
