Animalia Paradoxa
November 2020

In November, Animalia Paradoxa, Deborah’s second solo exhibition for the year, opens at Queenscliff Gallery and Workshop. A collection of 'unnatural history studies' drawn from her extensive personal mythology, Animalia Paradoxa harkens back to a time when folk tales helped us make sense of our lives. In these ancient stories, life on earth was shared with a fine profusion of flora, fauna and exotic mythical creatures, and the border separating humanity and nature was decidedly more blurred.
