Deborah has been creating with glass for nearly 30 years, specialising in glass casting. She has shown in Europe in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Lithuania as well as in the UK in prestigious exhibitions such as Collect and the British Glass Biennale. She is a Crafts Council listed maker.
‘Rocky outcrops’ explore the beauty of stone bridges, harbour walls and dry stone walling. Compositions are evocative of the landscape and suggest rocks and stones placed harmoniously together, contrasting defined edges with the softness of adjacent vegetation. The blocks of colour echo the surrounding landscape, water and sky.
Deborah’s series ‘A dialogue at the threshold’ draw the viewer into an inner space, by the allure of 23.5ct gold, or makes the viewer implicitly aware of what lies beneath the surface. The form is based on a box with the surface texture creating nuances. The interplay between the interior and the exterior articulates a dialogue at the threshold.
Her workshop is in a converted stable on the Borde Hill house and gardens estate in West Sussex
