Exhibits A-F (Pinning the Evidence on you), Donning Oxford 2012.
My first meeting with Oxford, was through the 1980s dectective series 'Morse'. The two are indivisable in my mind. It was seemingly enevitable then, that (for this series of works) I set about, as a detective might, walking the streets of Oxford looking for clues to the stories being played out in this city.
As is often a common theme in my work, the word play kept me amused.
‘Donning Oxford’ was an exhibition co-curated between myself and Tamsin Leighton-Boyce and Natalie Smith. We were interested to bring together makers whose works collectively might describe the complexity of a place beyond the sum of its streets, landmarks and the widely held notions on its culture.
‘Donning Oxford’ looked to prompt its artists and audience alike to re-evaluate relationships with the city and to explore and stretch the notions of how or what it is to 'don' Oxford.
