LandMarks is a site-specific eco-diagramming project that began during a 12 day artist residency/canoe caravan on the Rideau Canal called Channel Surf.
Uproot (Solid) is part of a three part series called Phase Transition that was created in 2015. The series was created during a three-day "tunnel residency" with Gad Fleischwitz
Materials: Moss, tree, bark, dirt
Feb 18, 2015, frontyard, early afternoon
Emergent thoughts: liquid vessel, spores, transplant, rerooting, moss colony, epiphytes, reconfiguring territory, snaky, boundary lines
"Phase Transition was a three-day "tunnel residency" developed between land artists April Vannini and Gad Fleischwitz. The proposition for the residency theme involved each artist creating a new work daily as a site-specific exploration--engaging the notion of "solid" on day one, "liquid" on day two, and finally "gas" on day three. Fragments of archival documentation emerging from each artist's practice were shared at the end of the residency to suture together a momentary expression connecting the spring-like temperatures of British Columbia with the unusually deep chills besetting Ontario" Gad Fleischwitz
