Folkestone Triennial

Pae White

Title: Barking Rocks
Location: Pleydell Gardens

Pae White has transformed an existing dilapidated dog park into a small jewel-like garden for dogs and their owners. Taking her cue from the many dogs of Folkestone and their often elderly owners, White has designed a dog playground, equipped with enjoyable amenities for canines and humans alike.
Sculptures of cats' heads on 3m high poles and specially worded tongue-in-cheek signage make it clear who is not welcome here.
The park has been planted with fragrant rosemary, jasmine and lavender and includes a dramatic lighting system.

Translated text about each of the artworks into French, Turkish and Slovak can be found on the events page or from the visitor centre
