In the "process" : Working in the Granary.

Russell Moreton

Spatial Practices MA, UCA Canterbury.

Visual artist who currently uses simple descriptive gestures and processes drawn directly from the human body. His practice continues to explore issues around "Spatiality" and the "Postmodern Human Condition". The use of site specificity and materials "at hand" are employed to further underpin the practitioners sense of place, memory and dwelling. His descriptive working narratives are in effect physical working ideas, spatial entanglements between the relations of life and art.
