It looks like Weimin He’s insightful depictions of the development of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter will remain on display for 3 or 4 years. Take the newly created short cut between Walton Street and Woodstock Road and you will see his work on 50 giant hoardings.
The Observatory and Weimin were the inspiration for the opening line of my poem.
“In Oxford, a solitary observer look to the stars
dreaming points of painted time.”

Caroline Ashley’s poem Blessing is also on a hoarding. It’s inspiring to think that thousands of people who don’t normally read poetry will see Caroline’s poem and ‘An Artist Observes.’ But one thing I am sure off : those who take the time to look will not forget Weimin’s artworks.
