Debby Wilder’s practice explores memory, identity, and material culture through graphic design and printmaking. She works with found mementoes – small, mass-produced objects that carry traces of growing up in the 1970s, a period shaped by rigid ideals of femininity that she experienced as both pervasive and unsettling.
Books, music, and popular culture offered early alternatives to these narratives, opening up spaces of possibility and self-recognition that continue to inform their work.
Debby primarily uses Riso printing for its tactile, imperfect qualities and its connection to the lo-fi visual culture of her childhood. The hands-on, layered process allows her to rework personal artifacts into compositions that both honour and question the past.
