ARTIST STATEMENT
I work with mixed media including reclaimed fabrics, paper, and notions. Themes include social justice, magic, feminism, and nature. My work incorporates symbols from ancient mythology, magic, Goddess, environment and social justice. Art is one of the many ways I try to change inequalities caused by patriarchy and work toward a gift economy and matristic society as in ancient times.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Marilyn is a retired teacher with a MS in family relations. Traveling the world in search of Goddess is one of her favorite hobbies. She studies women and mythology and is especially interested in justice for women and children as it was in many of the early ancient civilizations. Her Grandparents immigrated from Ukraine in their late teens around 1918 and as she was growing up heard stories about the atrocities that were occurring in that Soviet occupied country from relatives that were still there. Then she began to understand the importance of justice and equality. She is full of rage about violence, terror and lawlessness presently occurring in our world caused by patriarchal domination. Art is one of the many ways she tries to change the inequalities and work toward a gift economy and matristic society as in ancient times.
