WRITING
Denise’s writing practice is informed by a range of ideas including art practice, pop culture, critical theory, gender and race. Drawing on these themes, her writing moves between a range of formats; from the traditional essay, artist interviews, experimental prose and poetry, zine making, as well as editorial work.
