DANAE FALLIERS

I’m interested in the borderline between photography and drawing; moving and still; pop and traditional; handmade and fabricated; color and material: psychological and spiritual; fixed and limitless; abstract and representational; potentiality and stasis.

My work is about the American landscape. I am intrigued by ideas of transience, transcendence, permanence, and memory. The images are reductive, highly manipulated, and abstracted. I explore the evolution of the perceived landscape, created in part by the pervasive acceleration of images - which has exponentially intensified, and dulled, our cognitive understanding of our environments. I believe that the sublime is still possible - and that it is still recognizable.

My images are an imagined landscape that remembers. I hope that they are beautiful, modern, and not nostalgic.

I was born and raised in Colorado, and work primarily in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and California.
