Deborah Hirst

Deborah Hirst

Deborah Hirst worked in the film industry on the script and production side for 10 years before graduating in 2004 from Central St. Martin’s College in Art and Design in Fine Art. She is currently a student on the MA Social Sculpture graduating in 2008.

Themes she is currently exploring through practiced based research are:

How transforming the internal landscape manifests itself in the world.

How we, as organisms, manifest and mediate the 'world flows'.

How invisible forces can be identified in the internal organism and traced back to their external origins.

How an artist working in this area might be able to create frameworks for experience.

Deborah’s solo work is principally photography and painting but she is currently experimenting with sound installation to introduce an experiential element to her work.

More recently Deborah has begun to work in collaboration with other artists. She collaborated on a site specific photographic piece with Afroditi Aparti at “Majam” a show by Ovada Gallery and Oxford Contemporary Music at the Jam Factory (2007). She has also begun to evolve a collaborative drawing practice with Ruth Harvey Regan showing at the “Chisenhale Biennale” September 2007.
