Dez Mon Omega Fair is an interdisciplinary artist and poet living in Long Beach, California. Their work explores storytelling and self-reflection, delineating the cathartic opening of joyance availed by the art making process. They achieve this expressive art through painting with water, brushless watercolor, and ink on washi; collaborative documentary film projects
as well as experimental forms of poetry. Pioneering novel sonics which explores the use of long-form soundscape and audio recordings of riddles, prose, poems and chants. Public performances are set within large-scale immersive installations consisting of figurative watercolor paintings and poetry sourced from abstractions of the heart and emotional histories of the body. So many beautiful takeaways form this interview and I love this reflection, “There is no me without you and no you without me.” So excited to share with you a conversation I had with Dez Mon Omega Fair. We met years ago and I was immediately enchanted by Dez’ graceful way of being in the world. They showed me their paintings, which at that time were colorful abstracted figurative work on thin japanese papers. We ended up living together for a few years and It was so wonderful to catch up with them and hear about how Dez art continues to evolve year after year, The residencies he has attended, finding the love of his life and continuing to make work and always experimenting and discovering new ways to share his vision. I also loved listening to some of his latest Novel sonics, which Dez graciously allowed me to share at both the beginning and end of this episode! and I love what Dez had to say about the Black Madonna!
