Rachel Fallon is a visual artist who deals with themes of protection and defense in domestic realms and addresses the topic of motherhood and womens’ relationships to society.
Her work encompasses sculpture, drawing, photography and performance and is firmly rooted in processes of making. As well as an individual practice, she is known for her collaborations with Irish and international artists and collectives; including the D.I.Y.Aprons of Power series, The Magdalene Series,andthe Artists’ Campaign to Repeal the Eighth Amendment.
The two disparate ways of working feed into one another and are therefore equally important parts of her practice. Her work is held in public and private collections including the Arts Council of Ireland, IMMA, the National Museum of Ireland and the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw (Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie).
She has been artist in residence in IMMA, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Rua Red, South Dublin Arts Centre, and presently has a studio membership at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, Dublin.
