'Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest ...' Shakespeare, 'Sonnet 3'.

On a blustery cold day in Jericho, the perfect place to visit is the Art Jericho Gallery to view the current exhibition 'The Magic of Trees'. The billboard advertising this exhibition can be seen from the main road and offers a tantalising taste of what awaits. Highlighting a collection of Helen Slater's glass sculptures, these projections of scenes transposed in bubble textured glass can only be fully appreciated with the warmth of the sunshine pouring into each work. Strikingly beautiful, these works fall into three groups, those featuring trees and scenes from locations while others are cameo studies of people, doors, suitcases and fireplaces. The third major work stands alone in the back section of the gallery like a stage set awaiting the actors' arrival.

The pieces that first greet you at the gallery's entrance are on white plinths along both walls.These works seem to follow a theme of nature and a fascination with trees. One work could have been sponsored by Scottish Power featuring the finer detail of power lines set in glass. The viewer is drawn to walk around the works and even peer over-the-top and through the pieces. Each piece very simple in composition, yet mysterious in subject without a description tag. The works conjure a desire to read poetry alongside viewing the pieces. Slater describes her work as having 'a narrative association.' The unique process of combining glass with photographs developed by Slater cries out to be touched and examined closely. It's like viewing several pages of a book at once, or cutting into a tiered cake. This exhibition runs until the 13th March 2016, and if you are looking for an enchanting artistic experience, take a stroll to 6 King Street OX2 6DF. It will definitely brighten your day.

In an intimate, uncluttered space in Jericho this exhibition has captured the beauty, complexity and multi-faceted symbolism of trees and nature. The gallery has brought together the work of four local artists - Helen Slater's glass sculptures, Rose-Marie Caldecott's paintings and Benedict Ramos' and Jenny Blyth's photographs – to explore the allure of trees.

The main works featured are Helen Slater's remarkable glass sculptures. To simplify – and there are clearly a great many complex techniques used here – Helen presents “etchings" of trees through the lens of multifaceted layers of flawed and polished glass. The effect is at once monumental; the pieces have a luminous presence of their own, drawing the eye into the fine details of the trees portrayed. The multi-layered and polished technique not only edifies the trees illustrated but also wraps them in a mysticism of ethereal bubbles and clouds.

And this ethereal quality is also captured in Rose-Marie Caldecott's paintings (oil on board) of local stately edifices such as Blenheim (where her work is also currently being exhibited as part of their 'Blenheim in a New Light' exhibition) and Stowe. At first glance the pictures have a gentle and muted pallet reminiscent of misty mornings on the Isis and her central images are familiar and comfortable but all are wrapped in swirls and vortexes of paint and texture hinting at the complexity of people's relationship to nature, landscape and the ever present trees. At many levels these paintings explore the relationship and juxtoposition between artifice and nature.

Throughout the gallery space the exhibition is punctuated by Benedict Ramos' and Jenny Blyth's photographs of trees including many interpretations of the mighty oak in winter. Both artists have chosen to present atmospheric black and white images of trees. Benedict's work has echoes of early woodcut and lithograph printing due to his experimentation with paper and inks and I agree with his comment that “it is extraordinary to see how the choice of paper can transform the feel of a print". By contrast, Jenny's photographs are more conventionally printed but by carefully selecting images and then subtly highlighting or shading areas she brings a new life and depth to the trees portrayed.

However, I must confess my favourite pieces were Helen Slater's relief representations of doors and architecture and, in particular, her fireplace and picture sculpture 'Dear Jane'. Here all the disparate elements of her work – etching, relief work, layering and polishing glass – come together to produce something which seems magically charged and imbued with beauty and meaning. However, you may not agree with this choice. Go and see this enchanting exhibition for yourselves.
