Inspired by the landscapes of Oxford, particularly those around the river and its meadows, this show will include a collection of framed and unframed abstract works as well as affordable traditional landscape photography alongside some mixed media work, jewellery, and cards.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and there is plenty of on-street parking nearby, while the river itself is a few minutes’ walk away.
Please get in touch if you'd like to visit mid-week or in the evenings.
Etain O’Carroll is a fine art photographer who often works with intentional camera movement and slow shutter speeds to create an impression of the world around us rather than a faithful reproduction of it. While a camera is her main artist’s tool, the unpredictability of these experimental photographic techniques creates results that are often more painterly than viewers expect.
She holds an MFA from Oxford Brookes University and has previously studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and the Technological University in Dublin. She has exhibited her work in the UK, Ireland, and in the USA, and in Brussels as part of the Cultural Programme of the Irish Presidency of the EU.
As well as her personal projects, Etain has a special interest in collaborative public art projects and facilitating socially engaged, community-based work. She focuses on issues around sustainability, well-being, memory, identity and belonging, often working closely with, and in, nature in order to build resilience, confidence and skills among participants.
