MARILYN J HAYES
My work expresses the power of myth and symbols arising from my spiritual and inner life . The work also presents images of the power of the feminine and inages and symbols of feminine energy as seen through the images and symbols reflected in symbols and myths from ancient cultures which provided symbols of feminine energy in the natural, instinctive world. Themes related my being a part of the natural, instinctive world are another aspect of my work. The swirling energy in the natural world is present in my work.
I am working in watercolor, pastel and gouache. I am also make encaustuc monotypes and monotypes using Akua water-based inks. I love the magic of creating a three dimensional space on the blank page. Drawing is an essential part of my work. I use water media frequently. It appeals to me because the results can be unpredictible, because of its flexibility and fluidity and because I can apply it in so many ways (brushes, fingers, handprints, sponges) and in so many intensities and textures.
