Deborah Ainscoe To contact deborah for orders, shipment and exhibit enquiries click here Deborah’s sculptural use of products and media resulted in her developing a deep fascination for the raw and manufactured alongside colour while at Nottingham Trent Universities’ Fine Art Department, which she has followed and expanded on during the years since. Though not averse to gallery spaces she likes to place her work in none gallery settings, which, she believes alters how we look at the works through the everyday-eye and widens the scope of involvement. Her works have been shown in many spaces including music bars, clubs, restaurants, public spaces and buildings. Both as collaboration and solo events. Also having explored the on-line possibilities of exhibiting work by using 3D build techniques re-creating a 3D body of work within an existing hosted site (Second Life) for 3 years from 2007-’10. No longer using this particular site, she is in the process of putting her work into a specific 3D on-line gallery.     Deborah also writes in her art blog : downbythewaterfront : which connects creative ideas and styles across the board, from people in fashion, design, music and the arts, along with contemporary thinking on creativity, solutions and wider issues impacting the arts.   For any exhibit agendas; either site specific installations or for original art works contact her studio below...  Statement and Articles -------------------------------------------- Deborah has been involved in collaborative venture #class premised by New York Artists Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida hosted by Winkleman Gallery.   The event Included her Online - Virtual Video :: Pessimists Optimists and Sceptics showcasing 3D replications of her work. Ed Winkleman from Winkleman Gallery posted his thoughts in his article : : Second Life And the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance. At the same time having her review of the #class project mentioned alongside other contributors to the event in Sharon L Butler’s Huffington Post article.    An excerpt from the #class statement: #Class Statement by William Powhida on September 27, 2010 #class happened On or about February 20, 2010, we transformed Winkleman Gallery into a think tank for approximately one month, complete with blackboards, work tables, beer*, coffee-makers* and a mini-fridge*. We solicited your active participation in this project if you were an artist, critic, art dealer, collector, academic, art-lover, art-hater, or member of the general public. We needed your help to find answers to such questions as and we arrived at some possible answers: *Is contemporary art a luxury commodity for the wealthy that limits the possibility of ownership, understanding, and access based on class, education and geography? If so, why exactly is that a problem? Absolutely! It is and it’s still a problem! *Why do people keep making art (or writing about it, or showing it, or caring about it) even when they don’t ever earn any money from it?. Because they love being involved and aren’t going to quit because they haven’t found commercial success.
