Piece description from the artist
Hiking along the desert-like hills of Petit Cul de Sac in St. Barthélemy is an eye-opener to many visitors to the island. In fact, most people don't even know about them, nor the natural pools that are hidden beyond them. The trail, if you can call it that, is almost non-existent so you end up meandering as you trek along, but you get to see the island from a new perspective. Along the way, some critters will be curious about you and a few goats might mock you as you slip on the small stones, but it's worth it.
I have always loved infrared photography, but traveling with the sensitive film would present certain challenges, especially in warmer climates. Finally, I converted one of my digital camera to infrared so that I could start creating again.
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.
