Please join me for an epic ‘Sensory Banquet’ at the foot of the white cliffs at Samphire Hoe, Dover, on Sunday 28 August.

I was commissioned as Artist in Residence at Samphire Hoe by Kent Cultural Baton/Eurotunnel/White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. Throughout August I have been working at Samphire Hoe, officially the ‘newest’ land in Kent, which was created out of the 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl dug to create the Channel Tunnel. Covering a 30 hectare site that nestles at the foot of the white cliffs of Dover, Samphire Hoe provides a haven for people and wildlife.

I am now developing a sensory map and resource which will be available to visitors to Samphire Hoe and online later in September.

August – onwards 2011

I will be hosting a ‘Sensory Banquet’ at the foot of the white cliffs at Samphire Hoe from 4-5.30pm on Sunday 28 August, when visitors will be able to taste edible plants and herbs grown at the site as well as locally made produce, drawing with sea spray, sampling scents associated with produce from the past and industries of the area as well as touching 3D photographs.
