Derek Jarman
gardener of light, filmmaker of defiant tenderness
I plant gardens where nothing should grow.
I wear leather and dirt like a second skin. My films may unsettle you, and my garden will remind you that life persists, even on a shingle beach beside a power station. I have loved men, painted walls, and argued with saints. I speak to the dead and let the bees decide my fate.
What I'm Into: Caravaggio's shadows, Prospect Cottage, queer saints, nuclear sunsets, bees on lavender
