    Taste, touch, sound, sight, smell: To most these are simply terms describing the five senses. For artist Jeffrey Morton, they are tools for creation. What becomes intriguing is that they are also the tools for understanding much of that same work. His work delves heavily into nature and the elements that allow us to connect with it on a primal and instinctive level. This common point of interaction or access is something Morton uses in various ways. His work varies from subtle abstractions to intricate wall constructions, though all stem from a desire to understand our relationship to the environments around us. Having moved to Tennessee from Pennsylvania in 2000, Morton has always had a special connection with nature and the landscapes around us. Never afraid to try new things, he constantly draws upon his experiences and range of artistic knowledge to choose the route that best speaks to the viewer. Whether it be a reference to the two years he spent living in Japan or the mountains of southern Tennessee, there is always something special in each piece that directly calls to a viewer. Helpful Information: First introduced to The Renaissance Center by entering the 2006 Renaissance Regional Art Exhibit, Morton now returns with new work, even pieces uniquely created for the space of the North Wing Gallery, where his art will be featured.
