Deborah Stevenson My paintings - Deborah Stevenson I've been a painter for over 30 years. My work reflects my interest in the 'geometry' and balance in the world around us, as observed in the quotidian views of skies framed by power poles, phone lines, edges of buildings at twilight, etc.  I love trying to capture the element of time affecting space;  the views change constantly as one moves through the environment, with one's eyes looking upward at the swirling skies.... I paint in oil. I love the physicality of the medium: it is smelly, it is sensual - it is fast, and it is slow.
My collages – I began working in paper collage in 2010. I mix classical with commercial/quotidian imagery, with the intent of creating provocative juxtapositions exploring concepts of power, the Feminine, and the mysterious. The process of making these pieces is completely different from painting, though equally labor-intensive. Whereas my paintings are derived from what I’ve actually observed, the collage pieces arise in an “automatic” way, presenting themselves spontaneously as I mix and move the pictures around on the table in front of me. There is no specific “goal” or intent when I begin – it’s more as though I am letting the images find each other, and facilitating their communion when they “speak” to each other. More than anything else, the process requires of me that I pay attention, so as to be ready to capture the dialogue.
