by Deborah Calderwood
2008 - 2010
The paintings and works on paper titled "by Deborah Calderwood" are based on found childhood drawings Deborah Calderwood made when she was eleven years of age. As the eleven-year old creator of the drawings upon which these works are based, Deborah Calderwood's name is painted onto most of the works, thus honoring and complicating their authorship. These works are emotionally and psychologically charged as Deborah grew up to be the woman the artist married, Deborah Hurtado Segovia. Each work directly borrows from the found drawing's pictured subject while amplifying their formal qualities through process, media, color and composition.
