Driven by curiosity and intuition Dana Falcini breathes new life into unconventional materials to provoke both reflection and memory.

Her use of various media has evolved over time, experimenting with both manmade and natural fibres, from recycled plastic to animal by-products, often adopting traditional techniques of preserving, weaving and sewing.

For Dana, mastering the art of tanning has been a process of research, exploration and experiment. When preserving gut and skin a forgotten wholeness, the cycle of life and death, is remembered and an understanding is formed between the past, present and future.

This discourse is slowly woven and stitched into each work. As the meditative acts of weaving and sewing slow time, harmony and understanding intertwine.

Oscillating between small, delicate objects and large immersive installations Dana’s work has been exhibited in national and international events. She has undertaken public art projects and enjoyed artist residencies. Her work has been selected for juried exhibitions and has been the recipient of several awards.
