About Bea Denton

Bea Denton’s practice examines ideas around death, loss and grief, ritual, memorial and remembrance. Photography, printmaking, found materials and lost images are intrinsic to her creative process. Pushing the boundaries of the technical and physical limitations of photography, her work transcends its realist conventions to achieve a deeper resonance. Denton is a collector and archivist of anonymous lives, departed and reincarnated, in pursuit of an essence in the image: the 'soul'. She attempts to find meaning and dimension through the imprint of time, light and phenomena. In a circuitous process, lost and found images are penetrated, interrogated and excavated through multiple layers of analogue and digital process. The resulting enigmatic, dislocated images challenge a traditional idea of photography as a faithful record of reality, and instead explore the nature of perception, belief, memory and remembrance. Denton is a collaborator in the Artists’ Group, Throes of Grief.

Denton graduated from UAL in MA Fine Art Printmaking (Distinction)

Awards: 2009 Creekside Open prize selected by Jenni Lomax / 2007 Deptford X MacDonald Egan Award for Public Art / 2002 Ardizzone Prize (Major) for Printmaking
