Russell Gardens, Dover

Blog about the work I am doing for a commission from Dover District Council to create an artist's film and a series of drawings/monotypes resulting from my research into the history of Russell Gardens in Dover and its current use as a social space of work and recreation.

First screening of Watercress and Daffodils

The film took us so gently on a physical journey through the garden space, a mental journey through its history but also on an emotional journey – as we descended the space of the garden we explored some of the depths of what gardens and parks mean in times of sadness.  This beautiful film worked on so many different levels and it has fundamentally shifted the way in which I am able to experience and value Russell Gardens as made and continuing to be made by us all.

Wonderful feedback despite a few seconds glitch which made me feel mortified even if no-one noticed. Nearly cried but then decided not to.

More editing to do then!

Also a tiny bit more work on the sound I think.

Everything is different once the work is on the big screen and in a cinema sound system…but here’s hoping all will be well for next screening on 12 April.

Hooray – film dropped off at the cinema

So I finally dropped the film file off at the cinema today for uploading to their system. Fingers crossed it will play properly and look and sound good on the day.

I am making a book to accompany the film, though it won’t be ready for 12 March!! Have some lovely contributions so that is what I will be focusing on.
