Debra Domal's work uses a variety of spiritual symbol languages, particularly Nordic bindrunes (combinations of multiple Runic letters) and alchemical symbols to tell stories,convey blessings and inspire meditation on concepts ranging from healing to creativity. She works primarily with India ink on rag, “sealing” each piece with a dab of red paint and ground dragon’s blood resin, a symbolic version of the blood seals used in ancient blessings. Her current series explores jazz music as an alchemical process, examining themes of improvisation, counterbalance and fusion.
