Deborah Buck embraces and explores the absurd and the darker side of fairy tales, while also tackling real-world issues through her art. In this Insight Sunday, Deborah speaks to the inspiration and processes behind her work, A Day at the Races, on view as part of The Church’s exhibition Are You Joking? Women & Humor.  Following the in-depth look of the work, the floor will open up to a Q&A with the audience.

Join us as we explore the multidimensional planes within the interplay of surrealism and abstraction. How do topics like the marginalization of women, climate change, social injustice, gun violence, and more find themselves challenged upon canvas by the layers of characters and narratives born from surrealist automatism?

Deborah’s work can be viewed as part of the exhibition during our gallery hours, Thursday through Sunday, 11 AM – 5 PM.
