Finissage

Saturday, May 4, 11am-1pm


Inspired by ancient gardening materials and methods and a contemporary movement to re-think materials and cycles of waste and consumption, the installation, Gardeners for a Geologic Afterlife (Spring) will incorporate living and dried plants, soil, sculptures made from bio-based materials, and found objects, containers, and structures common to the garden. The installation itself will formally present as a spatial and three-dimensional facsimile of a garden, creating an immersive space that recontextualizes histories of gardening and explores essential life forms and processes in the garden. Using found and repurposed materials, the installation will read as the relic of a past garden, baring witness to time, place, and ecologies, while also presenting as site for a garden of the future.
