The Uncertainty Series

Deborah Marks’s practice explores the psychological dimensions of the human condition and how inner experience shapes perception and the creative act. Drawing on subconscious and unconscious states, her work investigates the fluid boundary between internal worlds – thoughts, feelings, memory, imagination and personal perception – and the external world of environments, events and others. Painting becomes a means of translating reflection and emotion into visual form, developing a language for what is sensed rather than spoken.
