DANAE FALLIERS

I’m interested in the borderline between photography and drawing; fast and still; pop and conceptual; handmade and fabricated; art and design; psychological and spiritual;  fixed and limitless;  abstract and representational.

I think of my current work as photographic / drawing. The process for the foundation of the images is photographic - the evolution and final production is drawing.

I explore the evolution of the perceived landscape - created by the pervasive acceleration of images - which has exponentially intensified, and dulled, our cognitive understanding of our environments, memories, and culture. My artistic process is a blending of experience,  memory, and intuition.
