Welcome to Deborah Burge Art online

Artist Deborah Burge a.k.a RawfeyL

At this moment, I am working on a new site, so this one is being updated with anything new with some sort of photo, and in the future all works will be entered by year, and categorized and cross categorized, in the hopes everyone can find what they might be looking for. I make work in a lot of different mediums with some overlaps, some day you’ll see a better map. In the mean time here is an artist statement to start you off!

As an artist, I have always worked in primarily recycled/reused materials combined with fine art materials, so the categories are blurred. I do have mostly flat works that hang from the wall, considered paintings. And I have dimensional works that also hang from the wall, but are definitely considered sculpture. And of course Ive made large self standing sculptures and tiny table top pieces; all definitely sculpture.

I am an artist. I make art, in any medium and many mediums at any one time. Sometimes the work is mostly flat and sometimes it is definitely sculptural, and sometimes it is just bits of information -nothing real and everything about reality.

And I am the same artist whether I am holding a paintbrush, or a chisel, or a camera, or a computer mouse and keyboard.

I paint on my sculptures and I combine sculptural elements in paintings with all types of paint and markers, and one piece of some type of break-pad auto-shop-discard that makes a delightful conte-crayon red and is savage permanent on any surface.

Currently Art works in the by decade Portfolio Art Galleries are represented by click-able icons which enlarge for a slide-show of all pieces included in the gallery. It is temporary while I work on the site, now and again.

As always I am digging in my dumpster, regularly.
