Description

Derek Jarman's garden at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness, was a unique and evolving space that reflected his artistic and personal needs. Conceived as a 'pharmacopoeia', it was a circle of stones, plants, and flotsam sculptures built and grown in spite of the harsh winds and arid shingle. Through journal entries, poems, and fragments of prose, Jarman's writing brings to life the story of his time at Prospect Cottage. This collection presents a portrait of his reliance on the space, and the cycle of the years spent there in a moving collage. Tilda Swinton's Foreword highlights the cottage's significance as a living, practical space that was always at the heart of Jarman's work.
