The Hissing Folly looks at Durham Region’s ecological landscape and poses critical questions around human relationships with invasive species. This project includes the collection and removal of phragmites from the Thickson’s Woods Land Trust. The resulting construct is a folly; designed primarily for decoration, while suggesting a greater purpose through its appearance. The Hissing Folly considers phragmites as a historically valuable construction material with creative potential compared to its adverse effects on biodiversity in Canada.
The exhibition takes place in our Main Gallery as well as our Loft Gallery.
Please note that the Loft Gallery is not accessible by wheelchair.
