The thing about gardens

is, they change all the time. Thinking I would upload another haiku pic I realised that the garden has taken over, and now, if you are at this spot the plants have grown all around. The Western Herb Garden was amazing last week...the four quarters absolutely bursting with plants at various stages of their life cycles.

Sketched with a very light pencil! There's was so much there.

The haiku looks different from this photo taken in May..

Garden, round, quartered,

from mound to spike, leaf and root

potions, salves and scents.

Hamish Fulton walk

Folkestone Triennial and lots of inspiring site specific works to visit...but I was just thinking that actually, while the works are extremely interesting, it's Folkestone itself that also becomes the work of art. The sketch was done while taking part in a Hamish Fulton walk - 100 of us walking very slowly across 3m of tarmac towards the shingly beach, with a view of the English Channel. No talking said the artist so actually everyone was silent for the whole hour. This ended with the solemn note of AK Dolven's bell that is sited next to the sea between two steel poles for the public to ring.
