‘Our life has been shaped by the making of a garden. Our family has grown here. It has become the most meaningful place in our world. Living here for so many years has created the settled state of being, from which pictures have been sensed, seen, imagined, made visible. An ongoing act of love.’
- Garry Fabian Miller, 2025
Kestle Barton presents an exhibition of camera-less photographs by Garry Fabian Miller, whose work over four decades has expanded the language of contemporary photography.
This exhibition focuses on works made directly from and about the artist’s garden made with his partner Naomi on the edge of Dartmoor — a landscape he describes as ‘15 acres of meadows, orchards, ponds and woodland’. The photographs emerge from daily engagement with this environment and form what he calls ‘a deeply personal response to a place’. Over time, ‘the heart of the garden has quietly integrated further into the wild places, the meadows, into the woods.’
