Resurface by Deborah Stockdale showcased her work from the years between 2000-2015, alongside new pieces created in the Spring of 2022, as we began to emerge from isolation and the pandemic.
Deborah’s textile work focuses on natural objects, both big and small, and captures the essence of the organic world in her colourfully painted, marked, and stitched pieces. From diatoms to blossoms, from minerals to tidal zones, her art explores the beauty and intricacies of the natural world.
In this new exhibition, Deborah explores natural structures and forms, using microscopic images of plants, animals, and minerals as inspiration for her artistic creations. The artwork embodies the concept “Resurface,” as Deborah emerges from a period of isolation and uses her artistic talents to show the beauty of the natural world.
Deborah Stockdale is a textile artist, working in many forms of textiles and related fine art practices (painting and collage). Her work has been exhibited in Donegal at the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, and Abbey Arts Centre, Ballyshannon, in Derry at the Guildhall and Verbal Arts Centre, in Belfast at the Ulster Museum and Linen Hall Library and in various venues internationally.
