CIRCLE EXHIBITION

21 JULY - 31 OCTOBER

In theory, this theme encompasses everything.

The circle, the zero, the "O"—symbolic of the universal all. In the spirit of Wiltshire, the circle has been represented in stone for millennia, in crops for decades, and in nature and cosmology for billions of years.

As humans, we are drawn to their sacred geometry. Whether pilgrims of the spirit, farmers who have cultivated the holy hills, or those who have found themselves between Stonehenge and Avebury, circles attract and command attention.

This exhibition invites contemplation of the circle's profound presence within the wonder of Wiltshire—questioning, celebrating, and exploring the infinite meanings held within this most perfect of forms.

Featuring: the photograms and fabrics of Vee Harland; the crystal archive printing of Leyal Semerciyan; Apache helicopter (the spectres of crop circles) and aviation photography by Paul Cordwell; crop circle drone and panoramic photos by Peter James and Guy Shepherd respectively; intimate floral collage and acrylic paintings by Barbara Frost; photograms by Natasha Milanovich; photo by Russell Bruce-Youles; plus Smithy Art Forgery present a collection of circular and celestial silver, gold and diamond jewellery.
