Jarmans Garden

 Jarman's Garden by Sherre Delys (2000)



I really disliked this piece, Im not sure exactly why, perhaps because there are a lot of windchimes and im not a fan of windchimes, however I found its subject matter really interesting, I looked a little at images of Derek Jarmans garden in Dungeness and it looks like a fascinating place, Id really like to visit it, I like the idea of making art from 'rubbish' found washed up on a beach.
Although i dislike the overall piece, in the second part of it I really like the repetative sound of the waves crashing into the beach, I find it really relaxing, which i imagine is how visiters to the garden and nearby beach feel as they walk through it. I also like how the sounds of the nuclear power station eventually fade in and out of the wave sounds.
