Mild, particularly daylight, performs a major position in Hayes’ compositions and web site choice, notably indoors the place structure and prescribed routes affect how folks transfer round and might view the work. “I am usually chasing the sun to see where it peeks through the space and plays with reflections and color-casted shadows, so it’s really important that I make the appropriate choice for the site,” she says. Whereas the artist makes use of software program like Photoshop or Procreate to compose the general sample, she primarily focuses on the physicality of the fabric and its distinctive interactions with totally different locations.
