socalsea3 - Limited Edition 4 of 5 Photograph

Danae Falliers is a conceptual photographer living and working in Denver, Colorado, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her work is composite-based photography, with an emphasis on the fine print. She explores the boundaries between art and design; photography and drawing; realism and abstraction; pop and conceptual; metaphor and representation. Falliers' is intrigued by ideas of transience, transcendence, and impermanence. Her work explores the co-existence of movement and stillness; a cohabitation of contemplation and restlessness; a formal plane of both flatness and depth. A particular focus in her work is the evolution of the perceived landscape, created in part by the pervasive acceleration of images in modern life, which in turn has exponentially intensified and dulled our cognitive understanding of our environments. The fleeting nature of transition - difficult to grasp but known to our cognitive perceptions - is recognizable to our subconscious, and both implicit and explicit memory.
