As a photographer, filmmaker, and live visual artist (she is a member of celebrated psychedelic outfit the Joshua Light Show), Denny is a shaper of light. In her series Photon Motion, the New York-based artist offers hypnotically meditative explorations of light and time by capturing the abstract play of light sources as they are refracted through motorized glassware. Referencing other media from light art to stained glass to abstract painting, these works were originally shown as part of Off the Wall @ 725 Ponce’s launch in August and September 2023.
