I have started doing some research and thanks Richard Taylor for the link to his video “Put your arm right down into it” .
On gardens, I am collecting some key words and concepts, of which the below is a start:
- heterotopia
- reverie
- under threat – (the Boldshaves garden is huge but many either don’t have a garden or have only a tiny space that counts as a garden)
- illicit love
- enclosure
- pleasure
- control
- Paradise
- Post lapsarian Eden
- female body
- renewal
- enchantment
- disruption
- cemetery
- labour
- public
- private
- marked off space
- nature/culture
- escape
- protection
- another time (Jarman)
