Piece description from the artist
I've always loved carousels. Perhaps more for their artistic presence than anything else. The beautifully carved animals, the colorful paintings, and the often symmetrical lighting, all bouncing off the mirrors and metals as it moves around. This carousel at the Eiffel Tower has been a favorite as it's not grandiose, rather elegant. I love the joy on the faces of children and adults alike as they spin around.
We spend so much time forging ahead and looking down during our daily lives that I often stop and look up. It's that simple: stop and look up. Most people don't and yet it's such a different view and it's usually an inspiration to create a new photograph.
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.
