THE SOFT CENTER SOUL SINGERS
THE SOFT CENTER SOUL SINGERS
4 x small busts. LEGO bricks. Each one 7x5x5″. 2021.
Wanting more 3-dimensions in the LEGO portrait work – I started playing around and suddenly I had incorporated a door (or window) looking into a LEGO-made single confection in the middle of the body (where the soul sits, maybe). Then I had created 4 – and decided they should be an ‘a cappella’ soul group, hence the title.
"
I am a mixed media an artist who lives and works in Southern Utah.
I use personal narratives as a lens to explore broader cultural and political issues. My own experiences of being an outsider—as an immigrant to this country, and as a woman who pursued a career in a male-dominated profession of my birth country of England, gave me a unique perspective on rights and opportunities many of us take for granted. My work regularly confronts cultural stereotypes and alienation that arise from questions of body image, something that she has become acutely aware of in confronting physical challenges brought about by illness.
I work in many mediums, and currently, I am doing collage portraiture." View all posts by Deborah Durban

I love hidden spaces. I want to see these in person so I can peek inside!
