PROFILE

 

 

Jane Darke lives on the North Coast of Cornwall. This is the subject of her work as a painter, filmmaker and writer. She has a close connection to the place, particularly the littoral zone, between high and low tide.

Jane was married to the playwright Nick Darke until his death in 2005. He grew up on this stretch of coast and taught her everything he had learned while they fished for lobsters and mackerel from their small boat and explored the rocky shoreline.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Jane Darke is working on another documentary film to accompany
THE WRECKING SEASON (www.thewreckingseason.com)

It will be about the land and the people where she lives...

 

 

"I am collecting an archive of film and photographs from St Eval Parish. Gathering interviews with the people to accompany archive footage shot by Nick Darke’s father on 8mm film and some of my own."

 

 

The archive will be kept in Tregona Chapel, St Eval, as a Cornish resource.

Jane is working on this project with the artist Andrew Tebbs (www.andrewtebbs.com)
