Debbie Lee - Time Well Spent

About

The thirteen artworks on display are a result of time spent walking in locations on the west coast of Scotland over two separate days, months apart.

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.
