Derek Jarman's Garden by Derek Jarman (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Derek Jarman's Garden by Derek Jarman Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Derek Jarmans garden is in the flat expanse of shingle that faces the nuclear power station in Dungeness, Kent. He mixed the flint, shells and driftwood of Dungeness with indigenous and introduced plants. This book is his own record of how this garden evolved, from its beginnings in 1985. Publisher Description Paradise haunts gardens, writes Derek Jarman, and it haunts mine. Jarmans public image is that of a film-maker of genius, whose work, dwelling on themes of sexuality and violence, became a byword for controversy. But the private man was the creator of his own garden-paradise in an environment that many might think was more of a hell than a heaven - in the flat, bleak, often desolate expanse of shingle that faces the Dungeness nuclear power station. Jarman, a passionate gardener from childhood, combined his painters eye, his horticultural expertise and his ecological convictions to produce a landscape which combined the flints, shells and driftwood of Dungeness; sculptures made from stones, old tools and found objects; the areas indigenous plants; and shrubs and flowers introduced by Jarman himself. This book is Derek Jarmans own record of how this garden evolved, from its earliest beginnings in 1986 to the last year of his life. More than 150 photographs taken since 1991 by his friend and photographer Howard Sooley capture the garden at all its different stages and at every season of the year. Photographs from all angles reveal the gardens complex geometrical plan, its magical stone circles and its beautiful and bizarre sculptures. We also catch glimpses of Jarmans life in Dungeness: walking, weeding, watering, or just enjoying life. Derek Jarmans Garden is the last book Jarman ever wrote. Like the garden itself, it remains as a fitting memorial to a brilliant and greatly loved artist who, against all odds, made a breathtakingly beautiful garden in the most inhospitable of places. It will appeal to all those who are themselves practising gardeners, as well as the legions of admirers of this extraordinary man.
