‘DENSHAM’S WORKS CANNOT BE REGARDED AS WHIMSICAL OR AS FLIGHTS OF FANCY. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY ARE ROOTED IN EVERYDAY LIFE, SOMETIMES IN ITS ACCIDENTLY COMICAL TAWDRINESS, SOMETIMES IN ITS TRAGICOMEDY OF HUMAN RELATIONS, AND SOMETIMES IN ITS ROUTINE HORRORS.’
– MATTHEW BOWMAN
Densham’s satirical take on kitsch, questions our perceptions and relationships with objects and in turn the kinds of people whom might enjoy such items. Seemingly harmless porcelain figurines have been transformed to become sinister and displaced items. It is interesting to see how a simple object can become something else when altered (even slightly) and when viewed out of context the object can develop new meaning and deliver an alternative message.”
