Bio Marilyn J Fontaine is an East London-based Multi disciplinary artist who creates magical, intense narratives with mystical overtones. The theme of her work documents the feminine aspects integral to her journey and are heavily influenced by the rituals and practices of Indigenous cultures using memory as the intersection of healing, storytelling and our connection to nature. Marilyn’s work is often intense, bold, juxtaposed with strong cultural references and paradoxically an ethereal aesthetic as the artist feels strongly connected to nature, ritual, community, and the human experience. Her work embodies esoteric and human cultural themes including human values and our connection and relationship to something greater to engaging the public, provoke discussion and create an inward dialogue due to the personal nature of her work. The central themes of her work documents her intimate journey with femininity and nature which is reinforced by the use of rituals and indigenous practices as tools for connection and collective healing.
