ARTIST STATE OF MIND
BY FALLON LEIGH O'BRIEN
“Fallon’s work remains overdone and always in progress. Vibrant colors, psychedelic squiggly lines, and abstract shapes make you feel like you’re coming up on a really good trip or down on a feet-dangling & blazing roller coaster. You never quite know what you’re looking at. Is it an exotic sea creature, coppersmith barbet, or the beginning sketches of a Las Vegas casino carpet? No one knows. No one cares. It’s art for arts sake. And for that reason, I dig it.”
- Fallon herself, live from coordinates 29.958N. 90.0644W on a Friday afternoon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My art is about letting your mind wander, erupt, and slow down. What do you see? How does it make you feel? If you flip it sideways do you see something new?
I loved eye-spy growing up. My sisters and I would spend hours searching for hidden pictures. It carried over into my work. Childhood and teen years were rough. Drawing acted as armor against the world's maladies & melodramas. I could completely disappear into it like an invisibility cloak. Inspired by pure imagination and freedom of ink on paper, my early works were all black & white. It wasn’t until later I began to add color. The lines are styley and remind me of the weird & wild webs we weave in our lifetime or an abstract map of mycelium or some far off world. I’ve been drawing since I remember. As a young kid I visited my father in Vegas and was mesmerized by Bellagio Casino carpets and gambling machines. The colors and shapes and lights ruptured my brain. I want your eyes to go for a ride and your brain to fragment because you can’t wrap your head around it. And if you do I hope it puts you at ease.
Meditation is a practice and everyone has their style. Just as space between notes makes music beautiful, so does drawing for space between thoughts.
Artists I admire ~ Johfra Bosschart, Dali, Fumiaki Fukita, Alex Grey, Autumn Skye, Takashi Murakami, Ralph Steadman, Pierre T. de Clausade, to name a few.
Moving forward, I’d like to light it up and set it in motion. I’m looking to collaborate with animators and circuitry wizard’s. Hit me up.
