Piece description from the artist
I created this photo as part of a series "Going Home" that I never actually exhibited. I was about to move for the 22nd time — many of the moves having happened in the previous 15 years — and moving, while always significantly more than a nuisance, was change and was something that I craved. The process was always made easier because my childhood home, the one that my father built, still stood, and my parents still resided there. The house and its inhabitants were my foundation, no matter where I would roam. Around our home is beautiful farmland and many animals, wild and domestic, dot the landscape, quietly existing side by side.
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.
