Deborah Faye Lawrence’s new masterful collage series will be shown at Seattle’s Catherine Person Gallery.  The exhibition, entitled ‘Citizen Artist’, satirically address progressive political concerns.  Her flawlessly integrated photographic collages, painted illustrations and reproductions are disruptive, irreverent, passionate and intelligent.

In a new body of work Lawrence explores silhouettes of human figures who respond to one another with nurturance, despite their exposure to and saturation with violence. The silhouettes float on a ground of shredded documents, which include everything from words and images from advertising, popular culture and advertising to the U.S. Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

Lawrence has a great new art book published by Marquand Books entitled ‘Dee Dee Does Utopia‘, available at the gallery.
