Thérèse Chabot

Thérèse Chabot uses the garden as a central motif in her installations of dried flowers, stems and seeds. Arranged in geometrical patterns on the floor, she evokes both natural cultivation and sacred space. Her portable gardens are ephemeral, lasting only the length of an exhibition. They variously suggest ritual creations such as sand paintings, the Garden of Eden and the traditional crafts of women.
