Nail Farm
Permanent Public Art Work at South East False Creek in Vancouver, BC.  This project is based on the concept of a ‘Nail House’, a preexisting porperty that eschews real estate development due to the owner’s refusal to sell to make way for the new development.  In this project, a large scale heavy timber, barn ruin pavilion serves as an urban agriculture plot for a new condo development.  Depending on the typical use of the provided garden plots by the tenants, the site can at once act as a utopian symbol if overgrown with fresh plants or as a distopian symbol if it remains unused and lies fallow.
