Pointeso are currently at the top of the table. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Renshaw works in various media in which drawing forms a pivotal component. He researches the relationship between drawing, its broad application as a tool for communication and its ability to resonate on an intuitive level. His practice is responsive to questioning and examining perceived boundaries between fiction, reality and imagination. His ongoing research draws partially on Marc Augue’s analysis of modern life as highlighted in Non-Places, An Introduction to Supermodernity.’ (1995).
