Society depicted admist the heat of summer, it is a suggestion of a timeless era, a mottled memory of belonging to time and place, a slowing down of the world to a sensory state of being.

Blongs work has been exhibited throughout New Zealand and Western Australia, it is held in the Wallace Collection and private New Zealand collections.

She graduated from Hungry Creek Art and Craft school in 2006 majoring in painting and sculpture.
