Debbie Sharp
i am a visual artist working predominantly now in installations. Starting out as a photographer in the 1980s, ive moved away from the more traditional use of photography and that of the white cube gallery, into creating site based installations, and works made for the public realm. In 2011 for the photography look11 festival in Liverpool i used a shipping container for a installation piece containment in which for the first time i combined photography with sound to create a physical space for the viewer. i used photography as a tool combined with found object, sound, text and even smell to trigger and evoke emotions and memories. my work deals with issues of love, fear, solitude, isolation, Memories, my work comes from a personal place but the subject matter is universal to us all.
