Forty Hall Vineyard

Tucked into the grounds of Forty Hall in Enfield is something rather unexpected: a vineyard — organic, productive, and entirely run as a social enterprise. Each week, volunteers gather among the vines, pruning, tying, harvesting, chatting — not just to help make award-winning wines, but to find a kind of quiet companionship and steady purpose in the rhythm of the seasons.

The Vineyard Collection x Composer Doug Berwick

​

I’m excited to share the first in what I hope will be a series of collaborations with composer Doug Berwick. Our starting point is The Vineyard collection — a body of paintings that reflect on memory, landscape, and emotional time. Doug has created a musical response that brings a new dimension to the work: a sonic translation of brushstroke, colour, and quiet.

​

This partnership is about more than accompaniment — it’s a conversation between disciplines. As with all my work, I’m interested in what happens when different temporalities meet: the stillness of a painting, the unfolding of music, the layering of lived experience.
