​Walker's images come to us from very far away. It is as though they took an infinite time to reach us.
What we see is at once clear and utterly mysterious. Here, clarity is the mode in which enigma or a mystery comes into view.
We see things, to be sure. We see them as though for the first time because none of them has been stripped of (their) unique strangeness. There is a sense in Deborah Walker's images that things abide in a space of their own. ​​
