I am a socially engaged practitioner testing out a more material practice. My work is relational \u2013 both physically receptive to its site and as an agent socially. I co-opt objects, drawings, sewing, digital media and architecture into a sense of space and touch derived from Painting. My current research extends to horticulture, connecting with climate justice and growing practices. I am interested in work being temporary and relational to living structures and the more than human world.<\/p>\n<p>I often work as half of the collaboration barbaresi and round (see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rachelbarbaresi.co.uk\/\">www.rachelbarbaresi.co.uk<\/a>). We explore the way urban landscapes have been experienced by those who live and work in places of change. We engage extensively with communities, using a range of strategies to involve audience actively as part of the work. We often work with marginalised groups and via their participation place them at the heart of the work.<\/p>\n<p>Education has an important role to play in my practice, connecting with the participatory and collaborative nature of my work. I am an Associate Lecturer on BA Fine Art: Painting at Camberwell College of Art and on the UAL Foundation course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/spannerround\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@spannerround<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/baddiycustomisation\/\">@baddiycustomisation,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/barbaresiandround\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@barbaresiandround<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My current practice works with the flexible, elastic properties of Painting to reach into other means and situations.
