New Studio Member! – Falon Weaver

Posted byOrmond Art StudiosPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

We are thrilled to announce Falon Weaver as one of our newest studio members!

Falon is an American visual artist based in Dublin and a recent Fine Art Painting graduate from NCAD. Her painting practice is grounded in image making processes, often pairing representational oil painting with found object installation. Drawing from a personal archive of nature and wildlife imagery taken from her home place in Pennsylvania and time spent living in Norway and Ireland, Weaver’s work seeks to create silly moments inspired by absurdist narratives and the digital lens from which many experience nature today. Weaver also makes up one half of a collaborative practice with artist Aoife Ní Dhuinn which documents collective exchanges through installation, public interventions, and publications.

Weaver is a participant of The Douglas Hyde Student Forum 2024 and co-chair of After School Special Dublin, a peer critique group for emerging artists. Her practice is currently supported by the Thomas Dammann Junior Memorial Award 2023, and the Arts Council Agility Award 2023. Recent exhibitions include My Heart-Shaped Fiskekaker Won’t Fit in My Suitcase, 2022, Galleri Taxi, Bergen, Norway (group), Shitposting From The Cryosphere, 2022, NCAD Atrium Space (two-person), As Good A Way As Any, 2023, NCAD Works, and 21 Bridges to the Sea, Clancy Quay Artist Studios, January 2024 (group).

Ormond Art Studios is an artist-led initiative in Dublin city and is a platform for emerging visual artists. It supports the development of arts practice through affordable studio provision, critical discourse and space for events, residencies and exhibitions. The physical studios consists of eight individual artist's spaces along with a separate area that serves as the Project Space. The Project Space offers scope for work on a larger scale, embodied practice and experimentation. It is in this space that feedback sessions, events and exhibitions happen. We believe that critical discourse is hugely beneficial to developing a professional arts practice and essential to a dynamic arts community. Ormond Art Studios encourages members to open up their practise to peer critique and facilitates lively feedback sessions, residencies, and information/skills sharing initiatives. We believe in collaboration and connect with other creative initiatives to develop a network of support for artist‐led endeavours in Dublin and beyond. For more information please contact us at ormondartists@gmail.com Ormond Art Studios is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
