Dez'Mon Omega Fair
.
WAITSBURG-Artist Dez'Mon Omega Fair described his new installation in Waitsburg as "bright and inspired, an immersive draped and piled display of the artist's newest work: large wall-size drop clothes depict orbs on orbs on orbs, organs of reproduction and gestation, the eyes of indecipherable Earth and alien creatures, planets form and eggs dissolve."
Much of the artwork was created over two months in the large auditorium of The Liberty Theater in Walla Walla. Fair created an organic and symbolic art, music, and performance exhibit for an invited audience at the end of August. Connie Blumenthal reached out to the artist to christen the new art space with his work at the recent Waitsburg Open House event. Fair transformed the former bakery into a soft, flowing space that enveloped visitors in the artist's narrative.
The large paintings covering the walls and floor were new. Stacks of delicate drawings and paintings were created throughout Fair's career, and visitors could take their time looking through them.
The Creative Mill will open the show to the public on Sundays in September, from noon to 5 p.m. Fair will also host private visits by appointment throughout the month and can be reached by phone at (803)-347-9369 or by email at dezmonomegafairartist@gmail.com for appointments. The artist's website is https://dezmonomegafair.com.
The show ends on October 3rd, with a closing poetry reading and a listening party for the artist's Novel Sonics, beginning at 5 p.m. Novel Sonics are works of poetry interlaced into a soundscape: A collaboration with sound artist Coleman Moore.

The Creative Mill is located at 206 Main Street, Waitsburg, Wash.
