Deborah
Barlow
Deborah Barlow
is interested in exploring what isn't obvious. Every object has hidden
dimensions-beneath, behind, above, inside-that are not always apparent. When you
steady your vision and get beyond the visual surface of things, a different
experience can emerge. Her recent work has been closely tied to specific
landscapes that hold traces of lost cultures and ancient ancestors. Two regions
that have captured her attention are the American Southwest deserts with its
treasure trove of rock art, and the coastlines of Ireland, Wales and Scotland
where a number of Neolithic stone circles and monuments are still in tact. The
"earth markings" in these regions are mysterious because so little is
known about who created them and what they intended. Paintings range in size
from 8" x 10" to 4' x 5'. She paints on a variety of surfaces
including paper, canvas and wood. The pieces are built by adding layer upon
layer of color, texture and various materials including foil, ink, rice papers,
marble dust, metallic pigments, silk and wax. Eventually images emerge that
float in the zone between what can be seen and what cannot, between the explicit
and the implicit. Her work is in private and corporate collections in the US and
Europe.
