Aylene
Fallah
Aylene Fallah immigrated to the US in the early 80s. She
graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a
bachelor in sculpture and a minor in painting. In 1998,
Aylene's mixed media sculptures have been exhibited throughout
the United States and Canada. Aylene uses her dual perspective
as an Iranian American to explore Issues of gender, culture,
religion, war, history, and identity relating to her Persian
roots.
"Lately I have been thinking of the journey of the
spirit. The notion of a body passing in one realm and
the spirit continuing in another. As one journey ends,
another begins. And the only tangible or intangible things
remaining are what's left behind through time. Photo albums,
hair, photos, prayer beads, a holy book, stains, and bones
perhaps."
Here are some of her works:
That which is placed in the heart
Mixed Media
Invisible Remains
