Piece description from the artist
I'd been working on the Bubble Series for several years and wanted to add another layer to the series. During exhibitions for the Bubble Series, I would love to listen to people talk about the photographs and hear what people thought the bubbles "really were" because often the viewer could not believe what they were seeing were bubbles. I started working underwater to deliberately create a scene in which the viewer really can not tell what they are seeing. I want people to hypothesize what are, in fact, these unknown objects.
From the UFO Series (Unidentified Floating Objects).
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.
