Hayley Hara
Location : Brooklyn, NY
Education : Pratt Institute BFA & FIT MFA
Influences : I am influenced by situations that make me feel an intermingling of vulnerability with strength, and melancholy with humor. I am also influenced by dreaming, poetry, prophecy, fashion, animal symbolism & family photographs.
Environment : I work from my home in Brooklyn, but every where I go I look for odd, overemotional moments to catch with my camera or sketchbook. I use these moments as reference material for my work.
Philosophy : I see my visual art in the context of this Kate Bernheimer quote "A hall of mirrors in the worlds giant house of fairy tales"
Future : I am currently working on a series of short animated films based on my poetry and short stories.
