‘Sensory Banquet’, Samphire Hoe, 2011
I have been appointed as Artist in Residence 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.
Commissioned by Eurotunnel and White Cliffs Countryside Partnership, I am exploring the sensory experience of Samphire Hoe as well as the hidden sensory histories of the area. 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.
