Terrain Work Winner of Jardins Metis International Garden Festival!

Terrain Work’s art installation “Gravity Field” was selected as one of the winners of the Jardins Metis International Garden Festival. It is the largest contemporary garden festival in North America.

Gravity Field represents in real time how adaptive plants are to their environment even when presented seemingly impossible growing conditions.  The installation illustrates principles of gravitropism, phototropism, and heliotropism through the course of the festival. The sunflowers are installed as small plants upside down and they will grow and curve towards the sun adapting to their new environment over the course of the festival.  While the future is uncertain, Gravity Field sees optimism in the ability of plants, and all organisms, to adapt and thrive.

Hope to see you in Quebec City beginning in June! For more information on Gravity Field click here.
