A year-long collaboration growing, harvesting, processing, and making at means of Production Garden, Hastings Urban Farm, and Trillium North Park, Terroir weaves together First Nation gathering traditions, early settler agricultural methods and contemporary environmental art practices, through shared investigations for urban cloth production. 

​

Labour and ritual are examined as they are linked through intention, concentration, and repetition through the practices of movement, spinning, flax harvesting and processing, explorations in weaving, gathering of indigenous and introduced materials. These labours are assisted, witnessed and transformed into a choreographed dance with community members who weave their own dancing shoes from daylily, stinging nettle, New Zealand flax and willow bark.  The local urban cloth produced are site specific installations on the land from which the fibres grow, created through studied and practiced movement; and danced upon the landscape.
