Pasture Painting

One of Derek Jarman's long lasting legacies is that of his home at Prospect Cottage in Dungeness, England, surrounded by his cherished garden cultivated from scratch.

Inspired by Jarman's passion for gardening, join us in collaboration with artist Sarah Smuts-Kennedy (co-founder of For the Love of Bees) and Aaiotanga Trust for this wellbeing-focused workshop where you will contribute to the making of a Pasture Painting on the Emily Place Reserve. Through sowing quick-growth seeds in a geometric shape, we will create a temporary artwork that will flourish over the course of the exhibition and explore how connecting with nature through gardening can promote healing.
