Natural History Museum Private View

On Friday 11th May to coincide with the opening of the Oxford City Artsweeks, of which our show was a part, we held the Private View of our Exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in Oxford, where we have the full length of the upper gallery which overlooks the main room with the dinosaurs.  There are a mixture of linocut and woodcut prints from our Wytham collection, set in a mix of photographs, woodblocks, lino printing blocks and a carved leaf and tree installation by local sculptor Simon Clements.  At one end of the gallery is Simon's compost clock, a Clepsidera, which is measuring the duration of the exhibition in terms of leaf mould decomposition.  Go and have a look, you'll see what I mean.  There are also banner and posters derived from our work at Wytham with other scientific, school and research bodies who also use the woodlands. The show is free, the pictures are for sale, there are cards in the museum shop by the entrance and it runs until the last day in September.
