In Abingdon County Hall Museum there is an exhibition of objects crammed together into boxes and then rendered in great detail with coloured pencil artworks. This is the work of Oxfordshire Artist, Robert Strange. Most of the objects are very colourful and ordinary but made remarkable by the way they are squashed together.
You can also buy, in the museum shop, examples of the artwork on cushions, coasters, mugs, and cards.
Alastair, how strange, as today I also visited the museum and found Mr. Strange’s creations rather amusing, having photographed buttons and beads in a similar manner.
With considerable help from my inhaler, I braved the 105 steps up the top, to take some photographs. I recommend the museum collections (free) and the view from the top (£2).
