Citizen garden
                      2015
A public garden made of 2015 blue flags installed in a 50cm x 50cm grid, on each flag a portrait of a Winnipegger. 
















“Cool blue flag poles rise out of the ground like the tall prairie grasses that once encompassed and followed the meandering river-shore. The repetition of polls provides a light yet protective shield from the hot sun that beams down during Winnipeg summers. Once inside the garden, movement of the flags reminds the user of the relieving affects a summer breeze can have upon them. Collecting and organizing each individual’s notion of what cool means to them as well as having their face printed on a flag, demonstrates both the diversity and unity that exists in the city that thrives in the middle of Canada.”
