Editor: This is Ambrose Poynter's sketch of Northleach Church in Gloucestershire. It's a delicate drawing, all intricate lines and soaring heights. It almost feels like a memory. What do you make of it? Curator: It whispers of a bygone era, doesn't it? Poynter, steeped in architectural precision, still allows for this evocative, almost ethereal quality. Notice how the details – the delicate tracery of the windows, the imposing tower – are rendered with such care, yet the overall impression is one of quiet reverence. Does it perhaps remind you of a gothic dream? Editor: It does. Almost like a half-remembered place. Thanks, that's a lovely thought to take away. Curator: Indeed, art, like memory, often resides in those in-between spaces.
