My great-grandfather served the Swanage Hospital as a Doctor from 1895-1925 and my grandmother returned there to live in the 1950s. So it happened that, as a boy growing up in Watford in the 1960s, I used to spend the summers exploring Swanage and taking boat trips to Old Harry Rocks. Nowadays I cycle the cliff path to Old Harry and here the chalk stacks are seen from above. Weaknesses within the chalk have led to the formation of caves that have collapsed to form isolated towering sea stacks like the Pinnacle.

Winspit lies between two hills known as East and West Man. There are extensive quarries at Winspit Bottom where I painted this picture. The path between the hills leads to Worth Matravers and the Square and Compass pub. West Winspit was one of the last coastal quarries to close in the 1960s.

Reading from left to right like a musical score, these intaglio monoprints begin with contour patterns seen from the air captured by LiDAR, an optical remote sensing technology that can measure the change in elevation of the landscape using pulses from a laser. The contour patterns are printed from an etched steel plate and are from the same grid reference as the topographical drawings, which can be seen in each print.

The heart of the Lake District is carved from the remains of long extinct volcanoes which threw out huge quantities of lava and ash during cataclysmic eruptions around 450 million years ago. During the last Ice Age, between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, the area was the source of many glaciers, which cut the deep U-shaped valleys and sculpted the sharp ridges characteristic of the area. When the ice finally retreated about 10,000 years ago, valleys formed, which lakes later filled, creating the scenery that we see today.

In 2010 I was Artist-in-Residence in the Geography Department of Nottingham University. I focused on painting a series of waterfalls, capturing the drama of moving water as it cuts through the towering cliffs formed from these ancient volcanic rocks and their granite roots. There are five kinds of waterfall, Waterchute, Bridal Veil, Cataract, Curtain Fall and Cascade.

All the waterfalls I painted, including Angletarn Beck and Scalehow Force, are cascades, which are a series of linked falls.

This painting of the engine houses are by the inclined Crowns shaft of Botallack and show the chimneys. The Bottalack mine yielded mainly copper and like the Levant mine, the workings of Bottalack stretch far out under the sea. Wilkie Collins, a famous Victorian author, went down the mine in 1851 and wrote about this experience in his book, Rambles Beyond Railways.

Gadcliff towers over Brandy Bay and is formed of a layering of strata of Purbeck Beds, Portland Stone, Portland Sand, Kimmeridge Clay and Shale. Peregrine falcons and ravens nest in the crags of the cliff and on the middle slopes live butterflies, foxes, black-faced sheep and goats. Brandy Bay was once a smugglers’ haunt, hence the name.

I first started to go to Dorset as a boy, in summers spent at my grandmother’s house. When they were open I would visit the Tilly Whim caves, in the foreground of this painting, and it always felt like an adventure. They were later closed when the collapsing roof of an underground quarry made them unsafe. This view with Durlston Castle in profile in the distance is painted from Anvil Point Lighthouse.

I made this series from the window of No 2 The Parade, Paul Nash’s studio in Swanage. Paul Nash wrote The Shell Guide to Dorset in 1935, edited by John Betjeman and aimed at the new car-owning, metropolitan tourist – keen to enjoy his increased mobility and explore the British Isles. I have a copy of the guide and still use it. No 2 is now a holiday let. In 1992 I started to paint from the balcony and worked indoors, looking from relative darkness from an enclosed place to a vast expanse of sea and sky.

Extract from an essay written by Margaret Garlake to accompany the exhibition Jeremy Gardiner, The Ballard Point Paintings, London 2000

Topographically, Ballad Point is a long headland in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, which forms the northern edge of Swanage Bay. In Jeremy Gardiner's paintings, its 'noble contour', as the painter Paul Nash described it, becomes a dramatic metaphor for the whole Purbeck area. During the two years that Nash spent in Swanage in the mid 1930s, he came to feel that the town 'was definitely… surrealist'. He meant by this a condition in which things exist – or are imagined to exist – outside their usual contexts; he may have been encouraged by the fact that a number of the lamp-posts in Swanage are marked 'St Martin's in the Fields'. Swanage is, then, a place where the unexpected is normal; where vision may be transformed. Emphasising the singularity of its seaside culture, Nash wrote of the town's combination of 'beauty, ugliness and the power to disquiet'.

Gardiner has known Swanage since childhood, when he made frequent visits to his grandmother during which he became familiar with the entire area. During the 1990s, while he was living in the United States, he made many subsequent visits….. The Ballard Point series, on which he has been working since 1998…….originated in the same Victorian terrace in which Nash lived over sixty years ago..
