ABOUT

In the 1980s filmmaker and artist Derek Jarman bought a derelict fisherman’s hut on the desolate single beach of Dungeness. The house was called Prospect Cottage and it was in the wild garden he grew there that Jarman found solace from the HIV/AIDS diagnosis that would eventually claim his life in 1994. My Garden’s Boundaries are the Horizon, at the the Garden Museum, is the first exhibition to focus on Jarman’s love of gardening and his passion for the natural world. The museum asked us to design a book to accompany the sensitive and inspiring exhibition.

We also worked with theatre designer Jeremy Herbert on the exhibition which includes sculpture, paintings and film work from the Jarman archives. The entrance gives the visitor the opportunity to walk across the shingle of Dungeness into a replica of Prospect Cottage. The exhibition was named Exhibition of the Year at the 2021 Museum & Heritage Awards.
