DEBORAH BIRD
PAPER SCISSORS ICE
01 about
Deborah Bird is a British fine artist and photographer.
Intricate ice and paper compositions are photographed in the landscape, these ephemeral works are designed to open up dialogues about the fragile nature of our environment.
Inspiration for her abstract work comes directly from the landscape; research includes the exploration of dynamic form and sequence in nature.
New photographic works inspired by music use flowing watercolours and applied pigment in a colourful investigation into ephemeral art. These designs are available as a range of printed silk products.
International residencies include
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona and Crater Lake National Park, Oregon.
