Listen "The Stillness That Speaks: A Conversation with Deborah Paauwe"
Episode Synopsis
This week on AdChat: The Creative Woman’s Perspective, we’re joined by Deborah Paauwe - one of Australia’s most compelling visual artists, whose quietly
powerful images have shaped the landscape of contemporary photography for over three decades.
Known for her soft, cinematic style and emotionally layered compositions, Deborah explores identity, adolescence, memory and the female gaze - often portraying girls and women whose faces we never see. Her work has been acquired by every major public collection in Australia and exhibited around the world.
In this episode, Deborah shares how stillness became part of her creative language, why she resists perfection, and how softness can be a subversive force. We talk about authorship, ambiguity, and why trusting the quiet things might be the boldest act of all.
Tune in for an intimate, elegant conversation about visibility, memory, and making work that holds its own kind of truth.
