Her work is included in the collections of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the Woodlands School Art Trust, the University Health System San Antonio, and the Illinois Institute of Art Chicago.
Artist Statement
Carol Hayman's work suggests myths and daydreams in a dreamworld of cosmic nature, evoking notions of disappearance, deconstruction, and self-effacement. Themes deal with myth-making attached to objects and locations from urban legends to Native-American and Aboriginal story-telling, with Greek, Roman, Japanese, and Norse mythology, heroes, sheroes, and super-heroes, in comic books, sci-fi tales, creation myths and ghost stories. The mythological world is part of being human. These prints bridge past and present, the mystical and concrete.
