Deborah Sullivan: Murmur

October 2024 to March 2025

Murmur is a collection of photographs representing work I have made over many years. I am Old School! The images gathered are equal parts film and digital. I am a Mixed Media artist. This particular presentation evolved from my love of contact sheets, film strips, and accordion-folded handmade books. The space also influenced my choices.

Creating the strips, I let one image “speak” to another while assembling.

Intuitively working my way through my archives, I scanned or digitally rephotographed silver gelatin and platinum prints, combining them with the digitally captured images. All images are printed on archival, handmade Japanese papers, silk or canvas, and finished with pigments, resin and bees wax. Depending on scale, images are adhered to wood cradled substrates. Each print is unique.

I am an artist/member of The MarinMOCA Museum, and you may see more work at marinmoca.org. To inquire about a project or site-specific installation, please reach out to me at 415 847 1476 or [email protected]. deborahsullivan.net is under construction.
