Piece description from the artist
I love that in this city of limited space, always teeming with people, that there are still places that are unknown to many and nearly void of people. This pergola, tucked in the northern reaches of Central Park, is one such place. Covered by lush foliage, this tangle of iron and vines drowns out the hustle and bustle of New York even though Fifth Avenue is just beyond that arch. In the pergola, one feels embraced by it and nature; leaving the pergola is almost a decision to be vulnerable again.
Using infrared photography allowed me to create this ethereal scene, a dichotomy to the harshness of the urban landscape beyond its arch.
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.
