Deborah Dumka
Deborah Dumka is a textile artist who has worked with wool in one form or another for many decades. Her professional practice began after completing the Textile Studies diploma program of the Anna Templeton Centre in St. John's NL. She has lived the major part of her life by one ocean or another and finds inspiration for her work in the intersections of water, land and sky and in the relationship between humankind and nature. Deborah works from her home on the edge of a small island in the Salish Sea of British Columbia.
As a craft maker I highly value the use of natural materials and the creation process that leaves the mark of the hands on functional objects. I am fascinated by material transformation and the factors that influence the outcome of the transformation.
