Oxford Inverted

Since country is so tender
To touch, her being só slender,
That, like this sleek and seeing ball
But a prick will make no eye at all
Gerald Manley Hopkins, ‘Binsey Poplars’

The images in this exhibition aim to prick our vision of Oxford’s magnificent places and spaces.  Each is reflected, rotated, viewed through fog or stained glass.  They reframe the sights of our city that are captured over and over but seldom, looked at with seeing eyes.  They encourage attention to detail, shape, pattern, colour, contemplation, reflection.
