Featuring works by Marlana Stoddard Hayes and Tom Cramer

 

Marlana Stoddard Hayes

From her earliest beginnings, Marlana Stoddard Hayes has been inspired to use elements of nature in her painting practice, but now does so within a contemporary context. Over the years she has developed a cross-fielding system of information input, using elements in her garden as living subjects, along with extensive collections of artifacts and a personal reference library. Her work explores plant and biological forms that are an outgrowth of the inspiration these sources provide.

Long interested in living communities, Stoddard uses images to explore the relationship among various nested systems found in the natural world. Over the past five years, she answered the call to use spore prints from the fungi growing under her trees as a vehicle to embellish the work of her hands. Finding that the pigmentation qualities of the spores could be massaged by timing and temperature, she has refined their use to augment the chemical manipulations she employs in her work.

Tom Cramer

Tom’s current work emerged in the late 1990s and is an attempt to merge painting and relief wood carving. The labor intensive aspect of the recent work is intended to be consistent with their content. Tom is especially influenced by recent trips to India, Egypt, and Europe. He is attempting to avoid the facile, faddish, and superficial aspects of current American art and culture. Tom would like to think that the wiser and older cultures to which he fortunately has been exposed have helped him towards the more timeless goals of what all art should be about: An art driven by emotional content.
