Piece description from the artist
Living in New York City can be overstimulating at times; the Conservatory Garden is an antidote to that overstimulation. Tucked into the northern reaches of Central Park, the Conservatory Garden is quiet, so quiet that you might forget that you are in the middle of an urban jungle. I wanted to convey this serenity through art so I chose to photograph the gardens and its quiet places using infrared. Infrared sees what we humans can't, but it uniquely mimics what we can feel. This photograph is printed on a wonderful archival matte Hahnemühle paper.
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.
