Fashion and extreme beauty are at the core of the exhibition Tim Walker: Beautiful Things. Muses Clare Kunny and Sarah Chenault lead this tour that focuses on gardens as inspiration for a selection of Walker's photo shoots. Peer into the gardens at Renishaw Hall, Edith Sitwell's family estate, to engage with Walker's photographs of Tilda Swinton as Dame Edith in her garden. Look into photographs responding to wilderness gardens referenced in renaissance paintings in the Getty collection. And revel in the Indian gardens conjured in the series titled "Cloud 9". To conclude the morning of garden immersions we'll settle in the Central Garden for a quick drawing session with artist Sarah Chenault and for meditation.
