The 'Core Sample' garden was transformed for the 8th edition of the International Garden Festival, in Grand-Métis, Quebec. The garden intensifies its connection to the region through a collection of textures from the local landscape. The collection process is accompanied by a classification system to lend clarity to the new objects and their relations. Organized in a grid the core samples produce the effect of a planted field, illuminating the purpose of the core sample to determine land viability. Furthering this theme, rolling mounds flow with a variety of grains to add dynamic movement to this feature. The long grasses catch and respond to the wind, providing animation to the land forms. Suggesting multiple scales, 'Core Sample' draws parallels to evoke a connection to the region and the grains that compose it.
