Cameron Farn

Cameron Farn is a Canadian based artist. He was born in Calgary Alberta. As a veteran creative director and designer, in public art and specialty fabrication, collaboration with other creatives have nurtured exploration into various artistic disciplines. As a multi-disciplinary and media artist, Cameron’s work continues to be explorative in its conception and design. He has worked as welder, drafter and industrial painter. A commercial sculptor, illustrator, concept designer and an FX and prop sculptor for film and television. He refers to these past experiences as “skill hording.” But, at the center of the maelstrom of creativity is a bipolar, ADHD and thought disorder. It causes time slips, spinning letters and numbers and the pushes and pulls of wild creativity followed by fatigue and eventual physical crashes. He has described his mind as being, “a beautiful mess to play in and on occasion, drown in.” For years he harnessed his mercurial nature and creative energy to assist other artists in the pursuit of their own visions, and now to explore more deeply, his own.

“In my figurative work it is thoughts of connectivity, potential as form, and the effects of an object on an observer which are at the core of my designs. Each object is a capsule of potentiality, existing as both motion and solidity, a universe of possibilities, a choice, a pause to question what is. In essence they are each a chrysalis waiting for a moment of decision. Ones thoughts and ideas, following an interaction with any art object, is potentially a rebirth…and I think, this is where their purpose lies.”

“Story has always been the driver behind each conceptual design or fabrication whether they are creatures or characters, or designs destined for legacy materials like bronze and steel or print and digital media. My hope is that my work and the stories they represent provide a moment of joy, fright or fascination and give the viewer an opportunity to consider the way they think about the world.”

“Most importantly I am proud to be an active board member of the Loud Art Society. An organization dedicated to communicating the importance of mental health awareness and education. Loud Art Society develops and delivers programming which connects those living with mental illness and their support teams to a life filled with the craft of art making.”
