04 Sep Dencil Royal College of Art 1984

This and the image below were taken on the set of Cerith Wyn Evans’ film ‘Epiphany’.

I always thought Dencil was the most exotic boy on the scene at this time. He didn’t dress as outrageously as others but he played with gender identity in a very sublet way, he always had the most smouldering looks, which oscillated between the masculine and feminine. He applied his make up sparingly, just enough to make his beauty reach it’s zenith.

He appears here with tin foil wings and white face, cast as a strange angel in Cerith’s film Epiphany.
