Paintings
A particular area of the South Downs in Sussex inspires Deborah’s paintings which relate to her walks and reflect her pattern of thinking. The reference to maps help her to ‘assemble’ a landscape but in a way which does not exclude the immediacy of perceived moments. When she thinks of a walk she has made, she also locates it in her mind on a map.
Deborah sees maps, paths and symbols as a metaphor for her journey in life and colour is used in an expressive way to emphasise life as a celebration.

In the story “The Garden of Forking Paths”, an imaginary maze serves the purpose of giving the reader a different perspective on real life. The text gives the reader a fresh way of looking at life by showing that sometimes in life paths cross one another. Therefore, a person may take one path and end at the same place another path would have ended. The imaginary maze represents the numerous paths that one can travel and all of the possible outcomes of these paths. The story also offers many viewpoints all at the same time.
