“Gravity Field” has opened at the Jardins de Metis Garden Festival! Terrain Work’s artwork was one of the international winning entries selected for the 2022 Jardins de Metis Garden Festival entitled “Adaptation.” It is the biggest contemporary garden festival in North America with over 60,000 visitors each year. You can visit “Gravity Field” from June 24th to October 2nd at Jardins de Metis located north of Quebec City, Canada.

“Gravity Field” demonstrates the robust adaptability of plants in even the most extreme conditions. A floating cloud of 171 sunflowers transform during the course of the installation. The sunflowers are initially grown upside-down, but curve up toward the sun defying gravity. Visitors are encouraged to visit the installation numerous times throughout the festival to experience how adaptable plants are to their circumstances: phototropically, gravitropically, and heliotropically. Gravity Field is a delightfully immersive artwork and real-time experiment that highlights the powerful resilience of nature. While the future is uncertain, Gravity Field sees optimism in the ability of plants, and all organisms, to adapt and thrive. For more about Gravity Field visit here.
