“Nature has already accepted our pollution.”
-Timothy Morton
Wastelands dominate the healthy lands;healthy plants absorb toxic matter; toxicwater penetrates into fresh water. Naturehas been irrevocably modified by toxicmatter. Langøya is an island that sits in the Oslofjord in Norway; the island has been filledby different types of hazardous waste, suchas fly ash, acid waste, cyanide and so on.The project seeks to represent this the toxicmatter underground and conceptually createsfive different experimental gardens thatreveal the pollutants. The design utilizesindicator plants to notonly help observetoxicity in the landscape but to also generatepatterns of nature. The toxicity becomes a source of beauty, a garden of speculation.
