The Grass Was Taller Than Me | A Film by Sam Skinner

Green plants with text superimposed reading 'The Grass Was Taller Than Me'

Discover Sam Skinner’s love letter to Florence Park. As we drift through the streets and green spaces of Florence Park, ‘The Grass Was Taller Than Me’ captures the shared character of these spaces as common sites for all, both human and more-than-human actors.

‘Motherboard’ – a poem by Louisa Rimmer

The ascent into Modern Art Oxford’s Upper Gallery feels a lot like climbing into a spaceship. It’s a humid Saturday in April, and the room at the top of the stairs is high-ceilinged and metal-beamed. I am relieved when I turn at the top and I am met with colour and texture.
