Debbie’s work is developed using layering of various techniques. Drawing forms the primary step to each piece, using black biro in sketchbooks to capture the feeling and movement of a place.The final pieces start with paint reflecting the sketch, which is used to define colour value, informing the following layers. These next layers are collage - both fabric and paper – then, finally, machine and hand embroidery. The resulting work is both considered, and intuitive, with several dimensions to it: image, composition, colour, line and texture.
