Bio
Deb Covell (b.1966, Stockton on Tees) lives and works in Teesside.
Deb's practice is concerned with bringing a form into being by exploring the material potential of paint. She has omitted a traditional fixed support of a canvas and creates her own paint supports or ‘skins’ which she manipulates into three dimensional forms or uses as a base to apply geometric imagery onto.
‘As a child, I remember melting Crayola crayons onto old warm radiators and the feeling of delight as I watched these solid coloured sticks slip around and magically transform into a luscious liquid substance.’
