Piece description from the artist
First in the series of the Bond Women, "Honey Ryder #1" is created by using ink and paint on a cold pressed Hahnemuhle paper. The metallic golds attempt to completely obscure Ms. Ryder, but she emerges, strongly. Signed on the reverse.
About the Bond Women Series: I always loved the James Bond books and films. And I loved the James Bond character, however flawed, but I loved the ladies more. Often grouped together as Bond Girls, I thought of them more as ladies or women because of their possessions of great strengths. Though those fortitudes were usually somewhat eclipsed by their sexuality, they still shone through.
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.
