Sweet Farm is an 85-acre private park in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. The project comprises a series of architectural, sculptural, and landscape interventions along a network of natural paths through a varied natural landscape. Interventions such as a forest dining area, a woodshed, tower, mink cage garden and belvedere enhance and point to natural and man made features and the sensuous aspects of the site – heightening the visitor’s experience of the existing landscape – as if one were seeing them for the first time. Interventions are built incrementally with material harvested from or found on the site. Sweet Farm has been under construction since 1994. An exhibit of this work travelled across Canada from 1998-2000 showing in Toronto, Waterloo, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and Halifax.
