Kangaroo Island artist Deborah Sleeman’s practice is sculptural and largely inspired by and based in the natural world and island community where she lives and works. She explores the space between land and sea, night and day, living and perceived non-living, myth and reality.

Deborah works with range of materials; stone, bronze, ceramic, cast glass, found objects, sheet metal and natural materials. Often recycled, the materials are integral to the works, chosen to convey timelines and the elemental as well as notions of transience and permanence.
