Who cares about the Eastview Landfill?
ReMediate brings together artist Christina Kingsbury, writer Anna Bowen, and Pollination Guelph to create a massive quilt for the Eastview Landfill site. The first 1000sqft section of the quilt, made from recycled paper embedded with native seeds, was sewn together with public participation in spring 2014. It is now biodegrading and becoming a living habitat for threatened pollinators. Anna Bowen is producing a series of poems about the quilt and the layered history of the landfill. Spring 2015 will see the installation of a sculpture on site that will serve as housing for native bees as well as the continued expansion of the quilt. We are seeking cash or in-kind materials for the sculpture and garden and $750 to hire a videographer to document the process.
