The Fabriscape - Jardins de Métis

The Fabriscape
The Fabriscape garden seeks to unite visitors with nature by remapping the local pieces of nature. Visitors will take the local pieces
of the forest (leaves, branches, rocks), map them on a provided fabric, and place the fabric along the site, creating a new landscape of
fabric, a Fabriscape. This simple mapping of the surrounding nature both preserves the history of the local forest, and also re-imagines
it. Visitors create a shifting work of art by placing hand-printed nature around the garden.The prints are differing colors, thereby reimagining and revitalizing the garden from a blank white canvas to a colorful spectrum. Passing through the garden, one will first have the opportunity to create a custom imprint of local leaves, rocks and branches. As visitors walk through the garden they can hang the printed fabric anywhere onto the cable network, helping to create a vertical community landscape. In the middle of the site, a central birch
tree acts as the foreground to the Fabriscape background. Visitors can also bring home their printed cloth as a memento of the forest.
