Falchuk's work in diverse indoor and outdoor spaces incarnates the pulse
and feel of “life continuing” as she observes it in her on-going studies
of food, fibers, buildings and public use objects that we call recycled,
used, aged or decayed. The artist is interested in the beauty and love we
can experience from things that have past their prime, their safe
consumption or original utility. Colorful patterns and human references
invoke the inherent vitality burrowing inside deformity.
Born and raised in Boston, Diana Falchuk moved to Seattle in 1999 after
receiving her B.A. Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa in English from the
University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Her studies included
six-months in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she conducted interview-based
research on socialized protest street art from the end of the last
dictatorship. Her installation, collage, sculpture and video work has been
shown at Consolidated Works, SOIL, the Post Alley Outdoor Sculpture Garden, Vain, Secluded Alley Works, the Lower Level, Arts Ballard,
Artpatch, Crawl Space and on utility poles and mailboxes throughout
Seattle.
