Pendulum
Synopsis
Pendulum examines local plant life and constructed nature preserves, blending still and moving images to represent time's fluidity and its effect on botanical evolution. Through 16mm film and lumen prints created using flowers and vegetation foraged near Todmorden Mills in Toronto, Pendulum questions notions of native and non-native plant species, chronicling their adaptation to rising CO2 levels and severe weather. The project envisions the future evolution of roadside weeds such as asters and goldenrods, now thriving on a former dump site turned wildflower preserve at Todmorden Mills.
