ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Deborah Harrison: Contemporary Sculptor (stone specialist).
Deborah uses a technique called 'Direct Carving': No stone is ever the same due to its creation and Method of extraction from the earth. Every stone sculpture has a unique constitution and beauty.
Once I see or sense the form within the stone, I carve intuitively following the leading of its colour, shape and texture until I reach a kind of skin. The surface of the stone is imprinted with the the emotion with which the tool is employed. So each sculpture is completely unique: 'A record of the encounter of the sculptor with the stone.'
Deborah began carving after studying Biological Sciences (BSc). Then she studied Fine Art and Stone Masonry before becoming a full-time professional sculptor. She also works in metal and wood (a qualified chainsaw operator). She has exhibited in Pall Mall, St Stephens Walbrook and All Hallows by the Tower in London and in Norwich, Coventry and Gloucester Cathedrals.
Deborah is a founder member of the Cotswold Sculptors Association. She welcomes commissions and leads 3D stone carving workshops in schools and at Gloucester City Works for for those with or without experience and for all levels of ability.
