Richard Denny is a British/Australian Citizen (b.Sunderland UK 1967). Currently residing and working in/from Tallinn, Estonia.
The Artist/Researcher is a part-time practice-based PhD candidate at Northumbria University (Newcastle, UK) in Visual & Material Cultures. The emerging doctoral research project is titled Revisiting A Vanishing Land - a hauntological investigation into the Suffolk coastline.
Richard Denny was previously educated at RMIT Australia & RIT USA in Photography (B.A 1995) with Distinction & Falmouth University UK in Fine Arts (M.A 2023) with Distinction.
Building on successful earlier careers within photography and painting that had parallel international existences over 30 years, the recent essay film practice has moved the artist into new territory.
The current practice is informed by hauntology, collage, memory and psychogeography. Using photography, film, text, sound, narrative voice and found footage, these assemblages explore real and imagined landscapes in a society seemingly in late-capitalist decline.
