Phantom Menace, video Installation at the Florence Trust Winter Open, St Saviours Church, Highbury, London

For the Winter Open show at The Florence Trust, the church’s arch seemed to disappear to reveal the clear blue sky above, with the peaceful, fresco-like scene periodically broken apart by the roar of RAF fighter jets scrambling overhead. Dennison's process of layering memory and the subconscious onto objects is reminiscent of the artist Tony Oursler, who uses similar technologies as a means to re-enchant the world.

The motif of broken tranquillity and decay in Dennison’s work is reminiscent of the writhing insect carnage happening in the garden beneath the idyllic white picket fence in the opening scene of David Lynch’s film "Blue Velvet," 1986. In the end, nature always wins; human flesh is only temporary. Quoting the artist Vito Acconci, Dennison declares that: “Architecture exists because nature is dangerous.” Journeying into this void of pending loss and the reincarnation of objects, Dennison’s work reveals the hidden spirit in things always fraught in the realisation they will succumb to dust.
