Artist James Murch, through his established plein air practice, explores the challenges that threaten the survival of heritage buildings like Torre Abbey and what happens when nature takes over. An immersive final installation will include large scale paintings that celebrate the diversity and significance of the environments within the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark, whilst also capturing the relationship between these environments and Torbay’s most historic building complex.

James' in-person studio residency in the Learning Lab at Torre Abbey forms part of a six-month project along with three other artists, Rachael Allain, Gill Melling and Laura Segan, each of whom will be independently exploring their own chosen narrative with English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark partners and associate partners, as well as audiences from across Torbay.

During his time at Torre Abbey, we invite you to visit James to view works in progress, and to contribute to the ongoing conversations.
