Gardiner seeks to capture the environmental processes that shape the surface of the earth and his vision of landscape reflects the genius loci or sense of place of his subjects. [12] His artworks have been compared with those of Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland. [13] His paintings are the product of a long engagement with coastal landscapes in Britain. [14] He has continued the approach to landscapes of 20th-century St Ives modernist artists such as Peter Lanyon, Ben Nicholson, and John Tunnard. [10] Gardiner's landscape subjects have included locations from the Jurassic Coast, [15] [16] especially in Dorset, and the coastline of Cornwall, [17] in southern England.

Jeremy Gardiner's work Purbeck Light Years used hybrid techniques combining computer animation, painting and drawing, and immersive virtual reality. [18] Gardiner also worked on a project Light Years Coast, a virtual recreation of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. [19]

Its western boundary is less well defined, with some medieval sources placing it at Flower's Barrow above Worbarrow Bay. John Hutchins, author of The History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset, defined Purbeck's western boundary as the Luckford Lake stream, which runs south from the Frome. According to writer and broadcaster Ralph Wightman, Purbeck "is only an island if you accept the barren heaths between Arish Mell and Wareham as cutting off this corner of Dorset as effectively as the sea." The most southerly point is St Alban's Head.
