Denise Hawrysio was born in Toronto and currently lives in London, UK.
She received her BFA from Queen’s University, Canada, and her MFA from
the San Francisco Art Institute. She works in a variety of media including
site-specific installation and print and has exhibited her work throughout
Europe, the United States and Canada.

She has been an active member of London’s art scene for several years,
founding her own project space in the early 90’s, working collectively
with many of Britain’s leading artists. Her work has been recently reviewed
and sited as one of the most historically significant exhibitions in London
and last year her installation bought a new aesthetic sensibility in art
practice by attempting to redefine authorship and objecthood in art.

Her installation for RACA will deal with issues of displacement, hybridism,
transience and mutation, utopia and dystopia, memory and identity.
