ARTIST STATEMENT
For as long as she can remember Debbie Jenkinson has been an avid reader of stories. This interest can be traced back to her degree studying novels in Trinity College Dublin, through the time she spent studying classical animation in Ballyfermot, to her present practice on narrative. In 1997, she went to USA, and worked on several short films at O’Plenty Animation, where she had the chance to hone her animation and drawing skills. She directed her first short there, Daniel the Daydreaming Mouse. Back in Ireland, in 2004, she made the semi-autobiographical film tribute to her time in New York City, Bright lights, big city. Now having obtained a Masters in NCAD (Art in the Digital World), in 2008, she has her own art practice focusing on the function of narrative in ordinary life, combining traditional and new media spheres, (wind-up devices and found objects, drawing and painting).
