Inspired by North American indigenous stories, Dennis stages supernatural images that transform these myths and legends to depictions of an actual experience in a photograph. “The themes, aesthetics, morals, and stories of each image attempt to give Native American culture a contemporary agency to discuss the taboos of post-colonialism and universal global themes,” says Dennis. – Parrish Art Museum's WebsiteImage:Woman of Stone, 2017Somerset Velvet Giclee Print1/1011.5 x 15.5 inches (13.125 x 17.125 inches x 1.75 inches framed) #artforsale This framed print and many others available on my website will go towards the restoration and future art space @mashousestudio
