Speculative public art made with Nicole Clouston for Delimit curated by Markham Public Art and Varley Art Gallery
Currently, paths of human-machine transit delimit the artificial knoll. The Anthropocene swirls around this overlooked marginalia of infrastructure. We propose a land-based intervention wherein tiers of carbon-trapping plants curated from Markham’s local ecology embody the possibility of carbon neutral existence. In giving this urban place purpose as a carbon sink — an organic space that absorbs carbon — we put forth a speculative ecology of organic reparation.
