About Denise Startin
Biography
Denise Startin is an artist, writer, researcher and collector. Her
current practice and research are organised around four routes, place,
memory, history and identity. She is particularly engaged with concepts
of heritage, landscape, archaeology, performativity, representation, narrative,
mapping and embodied entanglements. Denise studied at the Royal College
of Art and her practice encompasses movement, image, photography,
printmaking, site-based interventions, installation, critical and
performance writing. She uses various strategies of production including
image and text, autobiography, polyphony, the intimate and fact and
fiction, a continually recurring relation is the tension between public
and private realms. During this process a historical figure, site,
place, event, voice or voices are adopted to activate the work and
produce a narrative arc.
