Jardin de Métis, Quebec, Canada

Elsie, 2006

Steel, slides, glass, 142 x 61 cm (each viewer).

Permanent work, Musée régional de Rimouski collection.

This work is comprised of seven viewers similar to the tower viewers found at tourist sites. These viewers are set up at different locations along the pathway in no particular order, providing visitors with unique and surprising discoveries. The lenses of the viewers have been replaced with photomontages on glass that allow visitors to see Elsie Redford, the founder and designer of the Redford Gardens, at different moments of her life: working in her gardens, fishing for salmon or napping on the veranda.
