Two young artists — one vision. Both are bewitched by the Radcliffe Camera, but both see it quite differently. Emma Dougherty and Tim Stewart share an obsession with Oxford’s most beguiling icon, and have joined forces on an exhibition of their interpretations of this 18th-century structure in the O3 Gallery, at Oxford Castle.

Emma (right) said: “The Radcliffe Camera embodies the histories and tradition of Oxford. This moves me to contemplate it in different ways and inspires a renewed veneration of it and the space it occupies.”

Most of Emma’s work on display features hand-moulded images of the Camera created from polymer clay, which are arranged on paper and board. Each has been modelled individually, though at first glance the viewer would be forgiven for assuming they have been stamped out en mass. Look carefully and you will spot the differences, minute though they are. Emma also uses found objects to add an extra dimension to her pictures, including coloured dice and model cars.

Tim’s large pastel pictures of the Camera have an immediacy that draws the viewer into the picture. He highlights his work by spraying it to dim its sharp edges and add an atmospheric feel.

Tim says: “My drawing of the Radcliffe Camera has become central to my progression in the practice of ‘seeing’ and ‘drawing’. The pure forms, the simple rhythm of spaces between doors and windows and the disappearing curves of this magnificent building are a joy to observe.”

This is a fascinating exhibition. The bright colours that Emma has used contrast perfectly with the black-and-white images from Tim. Rad Cam! is on till February 13.
