Harris Benjamin Deno

The abstraction of imagery between mind and mark making happens like the racing of thoughts and the immediacy of feelings: they are of that moment and can be only from that moment. The resulting work asserts a unique legibility to the moment it was created rather than to any specific memory that inspired it. 

Originally from south-central Minnesota, Harris is currently living and working in the Houston, Texas area where he instructs high school art while maintaining his private studio practice.

Harris Benjamin Deno’s practice involves a variety of media and consequently a variety of mark making. These marks become layered and begin to interrupt one another, involved with one another in the way thoughts pass through the mind.
