Deborah specialises in combining  photography and glass, using layering, shading and montage to produce the final pieces. The qualities of glass are exploited by layering the images, turning two dimensional photographs into three dimensional works.Much of her work to date is based on photographs documenting significant change in East London over the past several years. More recently the work has developed from the early concept of documenting changes to taking a closer look at the past and the present and how we transform our experiences into memories. Whether a council estate in Hackney or a snow capped mountain in Colorado the pieces are essentially about seeing and remembering.

Lighting, whether artificial or natural, is also integral in creating a somewhat fantastical representation of what is otherwise an ordinary scene.

She works from her studio near her home in East London.
