Out of Nowhere
June 21st - July 22, 2023
A solo show featuring Deborah T. Colter
Deborah T. Colter is a locally and internationally recognized mixed media artist whose work immediately transforms space with its mere presence. Her consistent layering, deconstruction, and reconstruction is where she finds her discoveries. Colter’s storytelling abilities allow viewers to see worlds outside of a tangible realm. When speaking about her work, Deborah writes:
“I am obsessed with the mystery of the creative process. Painting allows me to discover places that feel both familiar and unknown.
This collection speaks to my infatuation with process and exploration. I often feel the work arrives out of nowhere as if sent from a place beyond my knowledge. I have a deep level of trust in the messy process of creating, with all its inherent bumps and wrinkles, which helps me understand my need to continue on this creative path.
When the work begins to find its conclusion, and I feel a little shiver run down my spine, it is then that I understand the painting has taken on a life of its own. Arrived, as if out of nowhere.”
