Derek Jarman's Garden is the last book Jarman ever wrote. It is a fitting memorial to a brilliant & greatly loved artist & film maker who, against all odds, made a breathtaking garden in the most inhospitable of places the flat, bleak, often desolate expanse of shingle overlooked by the Dungeness nuclear power station. Here is Jarmans own record of how the garden evolved, from its earliest beginnings in 1986 to the last year of his life. More than 150 photographs by his friend Howard Sooley capture the garden at all its different stages & at every season of the year, revealing its complex geometrical plan, magical stone circles & the beautiful & bizarre sculptures. We also catch glimpses of Jarman at work on the garden. This beautiful book will appeal to all those who love gardens & gardening, as well as the legions of admirers of this extraordinary man.
