Oxfordshire Family Support Network is a small charity which works with carers who have a family member with a learning disability and/or autism.

Many carers are in their 70s, 80s and even 90s, and are still caring for their family member, having dedicated their life to 'life long caring'. This photography project, funded by Comic Relief, aims to give these carers their own unique voice and shows that whatever the circumstances of their family member, the family carer cannot step back and 'retire'.

Paul Young's photographs document the life of a dray horse at Hook Norton Brewery - one of only a handful of breweries left in the UK that still deliver with heavy horses.

Julia Engelhardt's 'weavescapes' are often the result of trips, especially to places with plenty of water. Other pieces are inspired by feelings - whether sensations, the mood of a moment, a garden or season, a flavour, scent or food - so she describes her pieces as 'landscapes, mindscapes and soundscapes'.

She says of her work, 'I take great pleasure in experimentation particularly with colour and texture. The mathematical and construction aspects of weaving hugely appeal to my logical self. I also enjoy the rhythmic, almost musical nature of themes and patterns, and find weaving to be a highly contemplative activity as it requires tremendous concentration.

Some of the more unusual yarns I occasionally use are produced in Japan which has a hugely sophisticated textile culture. I understand that the Japanese do not distinguish between craft and art, and it is this territory my pieces aim to inhabit.'

Jackie is a member of Oxford Printmakers and the Oxford Art Society and has shown her work on a regular basis at the hospital as part of Artweeks.

This exhibition of Gabriele Kern's work expresses her interest in 'people, spaces and ideas' and her desire to capture the 'essence of a space'.

She says of her work, "Printmaking techniques help me to provide some distance to the subject matter. The intensity of inks is joyous to work and live with."
