A spiral is born!
On the afternoon of a sunny September 21st - the fall equinox - art farm board members, volunteers and artists gathered for the inaugural planting of Diego Samper's Spiral. The Uterus Mundi symbolizes the generating matrix of the world: the power of creation and natural order. Cuttings from one of Samper's own laurel trees were planted in a carefully crafted spiral measuring over 500 feet in length and 90 feet in diameter! As they grow, the spiral hedge will define a living enclosure; an intimate venue - set against the backdrop of Mt. Elphinstone to the west and Howe Sound to the east - for encounters, performance, rituals and gatherings.
