Beschreibung
Raised by an artist and a handbag designer, Debra herself was exposed to a unique outlook on art and fashion from a young age, which helped develop her intriguing style throughout art school. As a student, handbag design was a form of therapy for Debra to cope with her parents’ divorce, though she now uses the medium to express her social and perspective notions.
Debra explores ideas centred on consumption and mass production, recognising the complex relationship that we have with material objects as consumable goods. With their kitschy elements, her works are a clear nod to pop art, brought into the digital age; now more than ever, we curate and display the emblems that we love, and they, in turn, curate and display us.
