#fastgarden

mixed media

#fastgarden is a self-assembled sculpture. The work relates to the concept of ritual through the culture of consumerism and the process of art making. The work is heavily involved with audience participation through building the #fastgardens, simulating the experience of art making and gardening. Each take-home package includes wood, nails, wood glue, a bag of soil, a small pouch of seeds, and an instructional zine. The zine includes an oath, pictorial instruction of assembly, and care instruction for the seeds that are provided. The #fastgarden website (fastgarden.ca) was setup as a medium of interactions between the artists. The website include the catalogue of plants, gallery, and information about the work.
