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.
