Although my paintings have become increasingly non-objective over the years, all my work still originates from the idea of community, the towns we build, the cities and the way we shape and destroy the rural landscape. This was influenced by my interest in maps and aerial photography and looking at things from a different perspective. I hope to show within the limits of non-objective painting the shape of the environment as it changes, as it diminishes in one direction, grows in another. Non- objective artwork is an exercise in geometric abstraction, space related to shape. My subject being the painting itself.www.deborahbatt.co.uk
