Piece description from the artist
Creating in infrared requires an understanding of the materials within the camera's frame and how they will react to the plethora of influences within the environs at the time of the photograph. I am always enchanted by the final image, but with this photograph, I wanted to add a touch of warmth as a way to invite the viewer deeper into the artwork, deeper into the serenity of the image.
This original artwork is on a lovely cold-pressed Hahnemühle paper with subtle texture to the surface that complements the photograph's soft grain.
Deb grew up with cameras, films, and other photography accouterments being as normal to her as baseballs or dolls were to other kids. She learned to take what was there, what was real — the light, the dark, the mood, the balance, the air — and translate it through the lens. Having a deep affinity for water, she merged these two passions and began creating underwater work. In the water, everything that we know goes away — noise, gravity, perceptions — there is tremendous peace and it allows Deb to create visual enigmas that calm rather than confuse.
Even with this devout love of photography, Deb had always worked in other media, forging more than just images, rather pieces that seem to morph. That which we actually see is an interpretation — the viewer’s — and that changes with each person, lighting, environment, and more.
