Deborah Lynn Irmas is a Los Angeles based visual artist. Her practice considers the textile and tactile materiality that was deeply embedded in her childhood. Growing up in a household surrounded by fabrics, yarn and other sewing notions, she developed an attachment to the materials that her Salvadoran mother worked with. “Everyday was the same…I would come home from school and my mother would be working with her hands on the floor surrounded by all sorts of materials. I often work the same way now which gives me a sense of home and comfort.” Deborah Lynn’s work has evolved into a recognition of her mother’s history, her Salvadoran birthright and her own bi-cultural narrative.
